LANCASTER - Edward (Ed) M. McLean, formerly of Framingham MA, Ashland MA, Groveton NH, and most recently of Lancaster NH peacefully passed away on January 27, 2017 with his family at his side. Born February 26, 1934, he was the son of Bernard F. McLean and Helen M. Z. (Willey) McLean, and the loving husband for 63 years of Ruth E (Bees) McLean all of whom predeceased him.
Ed was a loving, caring and compassionate man. He was reliable, honest and honorable, a man of strong faith who set a wonderful example for all who knew him.
He was a member of the Middlesex Lodge of Framingham, MA. He enjoyed Square dancing and NASCAR and family and friends. Ed was the meat cutter and then owner of the Union Ave Market for many years, then started driving school bus for local companies and then for the Town of Framingham. At age 40 he returned to school at Bentley College where he earned his certificate in Accounting which he used to do taxes and provide financial assistance in both the Framingham and Groveton area. He and Ruth moved up to the Great North Woods 35 years ago, where they bought and managed the Village Motel and Ice Cream stand. He started driving School Bus for the Groveton School District (SAU) and upon retirement he was presented his 50-year award for having safely driven his precious cargo to and from school every day with the utmost care for every student. He truly enjoyed driving the sports teams to and from their games especially those trips coming home with an escort after victorious championship games.
Ed also became an EMT working with the Groveton Ambulance Corp. He earned his EMT-I and then started training others in CPR and raising financial support for the Corp. He particularly loved participating in the "Teddy Bear Clinic" for the Groveton elementary school at Weeks Memorial Hospital. Ed loved helping people where ever he could. He often worked at the Riverside race track as an EMT and helped the Lancaster Ambulance Corp.
He was the loving father to three children, Cindy Feindel and her husband Bill from Framingham MA, Bruce McLean and his wife Marilyn from Mountain City, TN, and Bonnie McLean, from Groveton, NH and his granddaughter Eliza Barbaresi and her husband Blake. He leaves several cousins, a sister-in-law and his lifelong friend Kirby of AZ.
