Mystic — Edwin “Pineapple” “Fast Eddie” Moreira, beloved husband and father, passed away on Thursday, Oct. 25, 2018.
Ed was born July 29, 1932, to Manuel and Minnie Moreira, in Honolulu, Hawaii. He lived in Kakaako and as a 9-year-old boy recalled bombers going over his house on the way to Pearl Harbor. He was predeceased by all of his siblings, Manuel, Richard, Daniel, Rose, Madeline and Minnie.
Ed was married to his first wife, Sylvia Blake Moreira, from 1957 to 1973. They had three children; Angela and her partner, Deb Moignard, Lisa and her daughter, Jordin, Eddie and his partner, Marilyn and Eddie’s children, Morgan and Josh.
Ed was a proud veteran of the U.S. Coast Guard and was a crew member on the cutters Spencer and Campbell. He was a boxer in the USCG and continued to love the sport throughout his life. He also was a major fan of the N.Y. Giants and the Mohegan Sun racebook.
On June 29, 1977, Ed married Patricia Lord Kluttz bringing her three children, Karen, Lori and Jennifer, into the fold.
After the loss of his first wife, as the sole supporter of his children, he worked at Robertson Paperbox. He retired from Connecticut College and then worked part-time at Olde Mistick Village in his retirement.
Ed was loved by so many and had a great sense of humor that he passed to his kids. He is also survived by his lifelong friend, Matt Cavan and wife, Fay.
Dad we will miss you always and like the old Vera Lynn song goes, “We’ll meet again don’t know where and don’t know when, but I know we’ll meet again some sunny day!”
A celebration of Ed’s life will be announced in the spring.
