Edward Lora Daisey, 84, of Dedham, MA and Siasconset, MA, passed away April 5, 2021 with loved ones by his side. He is survived by his wife, Virginia Hill Daisey, and three daughters, Pamela Jo McMahon, Pandora Jean Daisey and Penney Jane Adams, three stepsons, David Hill, John Hill and Peter Hill, as well as 17 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren. He is pre-deceased by his first wife, Jane Drew Daisey. Ed was born May 7, 1936, in Brooklyn, New York. He was the son of Captain Lora Alfred Daisey and Florence May (Murray) Daisey. He retired as President & CEO of Adhesives Research Inc in 2003 after eight years of tremendously successful management. He served on many Boards of non-profit organizations such as American Red Cross, York Foundation, United Way, York Health Foundation, White Rose Foundation, York County Alliance for Learning and the Better York Organization, Strand Capitol (also a member of Strand Capitol Personnel and Executive Committees), Literacy Council, Membership Committee of the Outdoor County Club, Chairman for the 2002 United Way Campaign Cabinet and York Collegiate member. He was previously the President of Loctite Corporation where he worked for 16 years.

He graduated from Windham College in Putney, Vt. He was a veteran, a mason, a lifelong sailor and a member of Lahinch Golf Club, The Great Harbor Yacht Club and Sankaty Golf Club. Success comes in many different forms. Ed’s greatest success was the way he lived life and his wisdom should not be limited to just those who knew him. BE ABUNDANT IN EMPATHY AND SELFLESSNESS, SPREAD JOY, LIVE HONORABLY. In lieu of flowers, we would like to personally recognize the angels who cared compassionately for our father this past year, when we couldn’t be there: Forrest, Kelly, Maggie, Ellis, Nora, Noreen, and Anne.
