Born in Waterbury, CT to Edward Hassinger Sr. and Helen (Carbone) Hassinger, Edward lived a life rooted in integrity, kindness, and hard work. He was known for his deep sense of responsibility, and his gentle heart. Whether offering a helping hand, sharing a story over coffee, or simply being present in times of need, Edward embodied the very best of what it means to be family. Ed provided Maryanne with strength and love that never wavered during their 59 years of marriage. He took great pride as a member of the Knights of Columbus as a Fourth Degree Knight. Ed enjoyed time spent with friends, establishing meaningful relationships throughout his lifetime.
