Edward Gander (29 Oct 1943 - 10 Aug 2023)

Dear Josephine, Pete and I were very glad to have met yourself and Eddie, such kind neighbours and made us feel so welcomed. We were both sadden by the news of Eddie passing away so suddenly, I will take forward his gardening tips with being a learner myself. Apology for not being able to attend Eddies funeral and the celebration of his life, best wishes always, Kelly & Peter.

Josephine, please accept our sincere sympathy on the passing of Edward RIP. We have fond memories of meeting you and Edward in Portaferry to catch up last summer.

My mum Isobel always looked forward to you and Edwards visits when you were in Portaferry.

Remembering Edward, such a kind and thoughtful person. A
a good neighbour to my Mum and always remembered my daughter Lauren’s bday, as she grew up. I’ve enjoyed many chats with him on the driveway, over the years. Rest in peace Ed and sincere condolences to Jo in your great loss. Love Pat and Lauren x

A dear friend that will always be fondly remembered

Will really miss you Edward and our "chats"You always took the time to ask after my family and how my grandchildren,were doing.
Will Remember you,with deep affection,love Chris and family X

Remembering Edward, a man who took great care of those he loved, and was generous and hospitable to his friends. He and Josephine were well suited in their enjoyment of quiet pleasures and their shared sense of humour. He took on life's challenges with a smile and a gentle joke while leaving an impression of inner strength, wisdom and steadiness. He was truly one of the best. Dear Josephine, I am so sorry for your loss.

Edward was kind and caring with a great enthusiasm for gardening and of course Fuchsias. I have fond memories of many childhood visits to the seaside, particularly Portchester Castle exploring around the rocks and seaweed. Edward always made sure we had a plentiful supply of food for the journey home and I always enjoyed his stories of visits to Ireland and the Isle is Wight Donkey Sanctuary. Rest in peace Edward, you will be greatly missed. Love Shelagh and Steve Ward

Fondly remembering dearest Edward, a true gent, a generous and kind friend and a constant in our lives. May he rest in peace. Sending much love to Jo and all who knew and loved him x

Edward was a loyal, sincere and generous friend over many decades, through the good times and the bad. He always arrived at ours bearing gifts of food, flowers and beers for Joe. We’ve shared many special times with him and Josephine - he was endlessly patient with all the Irish music, tales and craic. We’ll miss him dearly. May he rest in peace and rise in glory x

We will remember Edward for the love and care for his Mum and then for Jo which he gave with love and respect including listening to Irish music all day. Our trips to Southsea sitting on a bench eating the biggest ice cream
he could find
He did the best he could every day
Our love to Jo and her friends that are helping her through this sad time

Remembering Edward with much affection,how he looked after his dear Mum all those years ago and his constant loving care over recent years for his wife Josephine- constant and true - his love of flowers - his enthusiasm for "fuschsias" new no end - a kind - unselfish and loving man - rest in peace dear Edward...you will be missed so by Josephine ..family and friends.

RIP❤️

Not to mention all the Disney dvd / videos !

It was a lucky day when a very good friend of mine introduced me to Edward 50 years ago. My friend said to snap him up quickly as he was a great cook, as I couldn’t even boil an egg. We had a lovely life together. Edward was always very kind and generous. We celebrated our 47th wedding anniversary on the 4th June this year and he never forgot a birthday or anniversary. Edward had a passion for flowers especially Fuchsia’s and very much enjoyed his involvement with the Fuchsia club, that was a very important part of his life. We always had immense joy and happiness during our annual trips to Portaferry. I will miss him always. Josephine
