Edward Varley
January 18, 1946 — April 5, 2018
Edward A. Varley, 72, of Stamford passed away peacefully on Thursday, April 5, 2018 at Stamford Hospital. He was born in New York on January 18, 1946 to the late Edward M. and Mary Mele Varley.
Edward was employed as a Program Manager at IBM until his retirement in 2009. His position brought him all over the world, but his New York roots kept his heart (specifically the Jets and Yankees). While Edward accomplished a lot in his life, by far his proudest endeavor was being a devoted husband, father and grandfather who always put family first.
He is survived by his loving daughters, Jennifer V. Guinta and her husband Dave, Meghan V. Gardner and her husband Jimmy and Lindsay R. Velez and her husband Julian, all of Stamford. Also surviving are his grandchildren, Charlie, Cate, Jayden, Alyson, Eleanor, Ryanne and Penelope.
Besides his parents and sister, Edward was predeceased by his wife Denise Crep Varley in 2012.
A funeral procession will be leaving the Nicholas F. Cognetta Funeral Home & Crematory, 104 Myrtle Avenue, Stamford on Tuesday, April 10, 2018 at 10:00 AM for a Mass of Christian Burial to be celebrated at 10:30 AM at St. Leo RC Church, 24 Roxbury Road, Stamford. Interment will follow at Fairfield Memorial Park, Oaklawn Avenue, Stamford. Family and friends may call at the funeral home on Monday, April 9, 2018 from 4:00-8:00 PM.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Edward’s memory to the Alzheimer’s Association, CT Chapter, 200 Executive Blvd, Suite 4B, Southington, CT 06489
