Edwin G. Kus

Edwin G. Kus, 59, of Loudon, found peace on Saturday, October 3, 2015.
Edwin was born in Lawrence, MA on January 22, 1956 to Joseph and Genevieve (Bogdan) Kus. He was raised in Methuen and graduated from Tenney High in 1974. After high school he worked for Methuen Water Works and Methuen Construction. In 1983 Ed met Kathy Ouellette, who he fell in love with instantly and would eventually marry. In that same year, Ed joined the Army and proudly served his country as a Green Beret until 1987. Following his time in the military, Ed joined up with the Department Of Corrections where he worked as a Corrections Officer for more than 18 years, entering retirement in 2010.
Ed deeply enjoyed spending time outdoors, especially fishing or tending to his extensive flower and vegetable gardens. He was an enormous Patriots fan and a lover of large breed dogs, particularly Mastiffs, having owned 3 Bull Mastiffs by the names of Omen, Dapper and Lulu, and one Neapolitan Mastiff, the love of his life, Einstein. Ed was a selfless and generous man who was always willing to lend a hand to anyone at any time, never complaining for a second no matter how difficult the task. He was also incredibly handy and made it his mission to fix absolutely anything that was broken.
Ed is survived by his wife of 31 years, Kathy Kus; his children, Jeffrey O'Dea and wife, Laura of Austin, TX, Jacquelyn Blanchette and husband, Benjamin of Loudon, NH, and Katelyn Kus and her sweetheart, David Hartshorn of Salisbury, NH; grandchildren, Edwin O'Dea, Genevieve Blanchette, Margaret O'Dea and twins, Daisy Mae and Evelyn Blanchette; his sister, Pamela Kus and wife, Diane Bradbury and their daughters, Kylee and Kaci of Amesbury, MA; and his uncle, Chet Kus of Plaistow.
Family and friends are invited to gather Saturday, October 10th from 11:00am-2:00pm at the Cremation Society of NH, 172 King Street in Boscawen. A Celebration of Life will follow immediately in the funeral home chapel. The family invites guests to arrive in jeans and Patriots attire to pay proper homage to Ed's memory and his intense love for the team.
