Obituary: Edward J. Lessandrini, 82, Of West Haven

WEST HAVEN, CT — (From West Haven Funeral Home): Edward J. Lessandrini, 82, of West Haven, entered into rest on April 29, 2024. He was the husband of Nancy Simonette Lessandrini.

In addition to Nancy, Ed leaves his daughter Briana Lessandrini (Nick) Hardrict, his brother Walter (Gaye) Lessandrini, brother-in-law Brian (Margaret) Simonette, nephews John, Mark and Brett Lessandrini and Alec Simonette, and his fur buddy Teddy, who was always by his side.

For many years, Ed was a well-known auto mechanic, specifically working on Volkswagens and other foreign vehicles.

A saltwater fisherman, when the fish were running, Ed was casting on a boat with friends and his nephews or off the rocks on the shore in West Haven.

Even a bad day of fishing was a great day for him! He enjoyed watching the Yankees and the Rangers and had a fondness for all animals.
