Edward Clarkson-Farrell

Edward, a Bronx boy and an unwavering Yankee fan, left an indelible mark on those who had the privilege of knowing him. Born with a passion for movies and theater, he pursued his undergraduate studies at SUNY New Paltz and later earned his Master's degree in theater from Brooklyn College.

Ed's journey through life saw him engage in a variety of trades, from sprout delivery to working with the MTA. However, it was in the realm of high school theater in Mount Vernon, NY, where he truly found his calling. Ed thrived in his element, orchestrating shows and leaving a lasting impact on the students he taught.

Above all, Ed cherished his family. He is survived by his loving wife Terry and their three children, Galyn, Fiona, and Aidan, and daughter-in-law Viktoriya. Ed's legacy extends beyond his professional pursuits; he was a masterful storyteller, known for his captivating tales, and a beacon of genuine concern for others.

Ed's benevolent spirit touched everyone he encountered, and he wished nothing but the best for those who entered his life. His love for cycling and unwavering commitment to safety serve as lasting reminders, encouraging us to ride on and always remember our helmets.
