A Stamford native and resident, Ed worked for Desco Construction for 25 years and most recently for Danella Construction. Ed will be remembered by his many friends as a loving father to his son Kristopher, a devoted son to his mother Irene, and a loving partner to his longtime companion, Amelia D'Angelo. He will be missed for his ready wit, beautiful smile, and especially his outgoing and generous nature. Ed's love of sports, especially softball, was evident during his playing years in Stamford's Shoreline "A" division leagues, and by his coaching, managing and mentoring of many younger players. One of Ed's proudest moments was seeing his son Kris "Junior" O'Hara inducted into the New England Softball Hall Of Fame in 2012.
