Mahopac- Edward F. Brady “Pop”, a longtime resident of Mahopac, NY, previously of Carmel and Yonkers, passed away on December 13, 2023. He was 81 years old.

Ed was born on August 9, 1942, in Saranac Lake, the son of Francis and Irene (Parisee) Brady.

With a grateful heart, he proudly served his country in the U.S. Navy aboard the U.S.S. Amberjack 522.

Once returning home to Yonkers, Ed began working with Con Ed as a Machinist in the Bronx. He spent the next 40 years with them retiring out of Indian Point in Buchanan, NY. After being retired for a year and a half, he went back to work as a Machinist for Metro-North Railroad. He finally retired for good and began to enjoy the retirement life.

He enjoyed traveling, cooking, playing the bagpipes, world history, his favorite show Jeopardy, cigars, his all-time favorite football team the Chicago Bears, his grand dogs, but above all spending time with his family.

Ed is survived by his daughter Cheryl Brady of Hopewell Junction, NY, his son John MacKay and his daughter-in-law Kelly MacKay of West Milford, NJ, his granddaughter Caitlin MacKay, his grand-dogs, Oscar Brady and Riley MacKay, his sister Janet Viggiano and bother-in-law Joseph Viggiano of Wappingers Falls, NY, his former wife Christine Brady, and many nephews, nieces, cousins, and friends.
