Edmund J. "Eddie" Dumais, Jr., born in Portsmouth, N.H., son of Edmund and Frances (Whelan) Dumais, 58, passed away in Palm Bay, Fla. on Friday, Nov. 21, 2014. After spending most of his life in the Seacoast area, Eddie relocated to Palm Bay, Fla. in 2011 where he built a new life full of celebrations, adventure and love with his sister Peggy, her husband, Walter, and their extended family. Prior to moving south, Eddie worked for many years for the New England Center Hotel, Restaurant, and Conference Center as a Night Auditor/ Front Desk Manager. Most recently he was employed at the Rialto Hilton in Melbourne where he was proud to be awarded the Friendliest Employee in 2012 by his peers. Eddie loved music, the ocean and the Red Sox and his quick wit, love of family and great sense of humor will be deeply missed. He is survived by his sisters, Jackie Packard of Dover, N.H.; Margaret Little of Palm Bay, Fla.; Diane Snell of Westtown, N.Y.; Kathy Vetter of Rye, N.H.; Irene Dumais of Eliot, ME, and Valerie Jackson of Scarborough, ME; along with many nieces and nephews. A private memorial service will be held with family. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Space Coast Center for Independent Living, 571 W. Haverty Court, Rockledge, FL 32955.
