(Michele Grieco Wind) McCorkle Jr. of Stoughton; his sisters-in-law, Karen (James) Solomita Stanley of Avon, Patricia (Joseph) Carbone Stanley of Chandler, Arizona, Christine (Raymond) Leazott Stanley of Norton, Mass.; brother-in-law, Kenneth Rubino of Middleboro, Mass.; and his former wife and mother of his children Elizabeth Carbone Stanley of Middleboro, Mass.

Ed was a wonderful grandfather to his seven loving grandchildren, Isabella Davis, Sofia Davis, Hannah Pike, Chloe Ashmont, Jessica Ashmont, Cameron Cavicchi, and Brandon Cavicchi. He leaves behind many lovingly, cherished memories with aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, nieces, great nieces and nephews, and good friends.
