Edward J. Spuler, Jr.

Edward J. Spuler, Jr., 86, of Manchester, passed away on Monday, October 13, 2025 at Hanover Hill in Manchester with his family by his side. He was born on September 8, 1939 in Neptune, NJ to the late Edward J. and Anne (White) of Freehold, NJ.

Ed was a good student and grew to be a very principled man with an immense love of history. He served in the U.S. Air Force, although his service was cut short due to his father’s ill health and his family’s need for him to return and assist them financially. His service to his country had a profound effect on his life that he cherished and honored immensely! His professional life included stints at McGraw Hill Publishing, ESSO, Interdata and Digital Equipment Corporation. His growth within the computer industry started when computers were larger than rooms and concluded with desk tops that were exponentially more powerful. He married Terry Ehman of Freehold, NJ in 1965 and they had two children and three grandchildren. Ed was always supportive of the activities of his children and grandchildren. In his own words, “Fatherhood was my proudest achievement.” Ed often included his children’s friends on vacations and trips. He was known for his infectious laugh, wonderful ability to counsel friends and family through trying times with his wisdom and was affectionately known as The Pope to some close friends.

Ed is survived by his two children: Kathleen Spuler and her partner Mark Libertini of Nashua, Edward J. Spuler III and his wife Sandra Silsby of Dover; his older sister: Theresa Spuler of Nashua; his ex-wife: Terry Spuler of Nashua; and his three grandchildren: Garrett and Karli Labonte, Margaret Spuler; many extended family members, including nieces, nephews, and in-laws that will miss him greatly.

In addition to his parents, Ed is predeceased by his siblings: Mary Ann, and Frances Spuler.
