March 9, 1942 — June 1, 2013
EAST BERKSHIRE - Edmond Charles Ploof, age 71, passed away unexpectedly at his home on Saturday June 1, 2013.
Edmond was born in Fairfield on March 9, 1942 the son of the late Oscar & Margaret (Jenne) Ploof.
Edmonds family moved to Sheldon Creek where he started elementary school later moving to West Berkshire and attended the West Berkshire School. He was a graduate of Enosburg Falls High School class of 1961. After graduating he continued to work on the farm for his father. When he left the farm he went to work for the Vermont Agency of Transportation devoting 30 years of service. He also had a part-time wood business where he bought logs, blocked, split and delivered as much as 140 cords in one year. Edmond decided to try his hand at carpentry, building additions on the camp at Lake Carmi where he loved to spend his summers and then remodeling the family home with a new kitchen and living room. In his earlier years he loved to go riding, taking a road that he hadnt been on to see where it would come out. He enjoyed family get-togethers and Freddas decorating of the house for the holidays. For several years he planted and maintained beautiful flower beds for the Enosburg & Montgomery State Highway Garages and All Saints Church in Richford as well as Our Lady of Lourdes in East Berkshire where he was a longtime member. One of his most enjoyable accomplishments was driving to Florida to visit his brother and sister-in-law. He also enjoyed listening to country music and going to dances.
