Edward “Eddy” Fata

August 15, 2020

It is with great sadness that the family of Edward “Eddy” Fata announces his passing on August 15, 2020. Edward was a loving husband, father, brother and friend who touched the lives of many with his kind demeanor and love for music. He was born in 1951 as the youngest of four children to Eugene and Josephine Fata of Bronx, New York. He graduated from St. Francis University and went on to get a Masters' Degree from New York University. Eddy was passionate about his career as a sign language interpreter for many years. He was devout in his faith as a parishioner of the Sacred Heart/Lady of Pompeii Parish in Dobbs Ferry. Most recently he was a musician for Our Lady of Pompeii Church, but enjoyed playing the guitar for over 46 years in churches across the area with his best friend Robert Seda. He married the love of his life, Gilda (nee Munoz), in December of 1991. They shared two sons together, Michael Joseph and Matthew Joseph that he loved dearly. Also surviving are his siblings: Mary Mancuso, Linda Pohlmann, and William Fata, along with all of their children. The family has suggested that all memorials go to the Sacred Heart Parish or a charity of the donor's choice. Mass of the Resurrection Tuesday 10:00 AM Sacred Heart Church, Dobbs Ferry. Visitation Monday from 4:00-8:00 pm Edward-Dowdle Funeral Home, Dobbs Ferry.
