Seekonk - Edward “Bud” A. Tessier, 77, was surrounded by loved ones as he passed away peacefully on Tuesday, September 30th, 2025. The speed of his illness, MDS, made his passing doubly tragic to all those who loved him. His passing will leave an immeasurable hole, not just in the lives of his family and friends, but in the whole community.
He inherited Tessier’s General Store, which was started by his grandmother as a dry goods store in 1917, and ran it his whole life. Helpful to everyone, with a quick smile and ready wit, he left an indelible impression on the people he met. He loved the shore and gardening, guitar and time with friends. Most of all, he loved his devoted wife, family, and the time they spent together. He is survived by Janet (Barby), and their three loving children (Edward, Nicole and Eric), also his three sisters, as well as many grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and in-laws
