Eddie was born in Kingston, New York, and completed his education before moving to Connecticut. Immediately after receiving his high school diploma, Eddie joined the United States Navy. He served with the Fighting Seabees and completed two tours of duty in Vietnam.

Upon returning home, Eddie used the GI Bill to earn his HVAC license. Within just two years, he established his own successful commercial heating and cooling business, East Hartford Air, Heating, & Cooling.

Eddie will be lovingly remembered by: his sister Arlene (Bruce) Cheney of Halifax, Virginia; his brother Barry Seymour of Kingston, New York; his niece Beth Cheney-Putnam of Halifax, Virginia; and his nephews – Bruce (Zeynep) Cheney of Jamul, California, and his dearly beloved nephew Patrick (Michelle) Cheney of Griswold, Connecticut. He also leaves behind his loving companion of many years, Carol Duquette of Vernon, Connecticut; and her children – Lynne (Sam) Duquette of Ventura, California, Amy (Bob) Donahue of Southampton, Massachusetts, and Richard (Samantha) Duquette of Vernon, Connecticut; along with many others who will forever cherish his memory.

Friends and family are invited to his memorial service at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, November 9, 2026 at Manchester Church of Christ, 595 Tolland Turnpike, Manchester, CT 06042.
