It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Edward "Ed" Kovalsky, who left us peacefully on June 10, 2025, in Hyde Park, NY. Ed, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, cousin, and friend, was a devoted family man who touched the lives of many during his years on this earth.

Ed was preceded in death by his brother and sister, Maggie and Andrew. He is survived by his long-time companion, wife, and caregiver, Ann Marie Kovalsky, who stood by his side through thick and thin. Together, they shared a beautiful life filled with love and laughter.

Ed was proud to be a father to his son, Edison Kovalsky, and to welcome Edison's wife, Selena Perry, into the family. Ed was especially fond of his granddaughter, Ellie Rose, whose spirit brought him great joy. He also cherished his relationships with friends and family, including his friend and ex-wife, Cindy, and his sister, Elaine Parisi. Ed's heart was large enough to embrace his stepchildren—Erin Haddeland, Joseph Condon, and Eve Competiello—and their families, as well as several grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and great nieces and nephews.

For over 30 years, Ed was a successful business owner, operating Koval's Major Appliance Repair in Poughkeepsie and Salisbury Center, New York. His steadfast work ethic and his commitment to customers made him a respected figure in the community. Ed's passion for innovation could often be seen as he tinkered in the barn, working on restoring motors, a testament to his inventive spirit.

Beyond his professional life, Ed was a man of many interests. He had a profound love for music and could often be found playing his guitar and dancing to his favorite tunes. His zest for life extended to his fascination with antique cars and motorcycles, which fueled countless adventures and memories with his loved ones.

The family wishes to express their deepest gratitude to the hospice team, especially Amanda, Jeremy, Chynna, and Julie, for their compassionate care during Ed's final days. Their kindness and support allowed Ed to spend his last moments surrounded by love.

In honoring Ed's wishes, a private celebration of his life will be held for family and close friends. As we remember Ed Kovalsky, let us celebrate his life—a life filled with creativity, love, and the unwavering spirit of a man who always had a song in his heart.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Ed's honor may be made to Hudson Valley Hospice to help others receive the same quality of care he received.

Rest in peace, Ed. You will be deeply missed, but your legacy of love, laughter, and creativity will live on in all who knew you.

Goodbye for now, beep beep.
