Gilbert Lawrence “Gil” Eady
July 20, 1930 – April 11, 2016
Gil Eady, 85, died peacefully on April 11, 2016 at Treasure Coast Hospice in Fort Pierce, Fl.
Born in Detroit MI, Gil lived in Kalamazoo and Fort Lauderdale before retiring to Fort Pierce in 2002. He graduated from Barbour Hall Military Academy and St. Augustine High School (now Hackett Catholic Central High) in Kalamazoo. Known as “Gallopin Gil Eady”, he led the southern Michigan Catholic league in yards and touchdowns for three years and St. A’s won the Class C Grid Title in 1949. He also excelled in track and baseball. Gil is honored in the Kalamazoo Area Catholic Sports Hall of Fame. He served in the U.S. Navy stationed at Pensacola FL.
A healthy cook and sportsman, Gil moved to Fort Lauderdale in 1965 where he worked in the fishing and marine industry. But, his great love was putting on a feast and a show. He started Gil Eady’s Catering Clambakers with his family to bring fresh Maine lobsters and a New England clambake experience to St. Thomas Virgin Islands and the Fort Lauderdale area.
He is survived by three children: Michelle Murray (Fred Bahrke) Lakeside CA, Terry L. Eady (Arlene) Fort Pierce FL and Patrick J. Eady (Laurrie Pood) Fort Lauderdale FL; and his two brothers: Jim Eady (Mary Harris) Alexandria VA and Patrick Eady Detroit MI. He also leaves five grandchildren: Terry L. Eady Jr., Kali Agazarm, Nicole Agazarm, Courtney Murray and Tracey Eady, and his trusty turtle, Turbo. He was pre-deceased by his wife Rita O’Reilly Eady and his parents, Lawrence and Virginia Cyr Eady.
A Memorial Service at sea will be held at a later time. Remembrances are appreciated.
