Following is the obituary for EDWARD T. DRISCOLL, submitted by his family.

_______________________________

We, the family, announce the passing of our father, Edward Timothy (Ned) Driscoll, 86, of Fayetteville, Tenn. 

Ned was born on June 5, 1934, in Westport to the late Daniel and Helen Boland Driscoll. He passed away peacefully on July 15, 2020, at his residence surrounded by family. A memorial service is planned next month at Assumption Greens Farms Cemetery in Westport.

After graduating from Staples High School, Ned attended Fordham University and then served as a lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force. After leaving the Air Force, he worked in the computer industry until his retirement.

Ned is survived by his daughters Lynn (Howard) Beach, Dianne (Chris) Driscoll; sons Timothy Driscoll and Stephen (Kelly) Driscoll; his first wife (Nancie); stepsons Mark Kaupe, David Kaupe and Chris Kaupe; six grandchildren, and 10 great-grandchildren.

In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by second wife (Sue); his sister Ruth (Sid) Warner; brothers Daniel and Robert, and two stepsons.

Ned was loved for his charismatic personality, his humor and his storytelling.

We find comfort in knowing that Dad’s legacy lives on through the lessons he taught us, the love he shared and the memories and stories we will cherish forever.

A memorial service with interment will take place Tuesday, Oct. 15, at 10 a.m., in the cremation garden of Assumption Greens Farms Cemetery, 73 Greens Farms Road, followed by a gathering for family and friends at the home of Ellen and Todd Sigmund, 70 Florence Lane, Fairfield.
