Edward Shippen Tatnall Obituary

Edward (Ebby) Tatnall was born September 14th, 1937, in Bridgeport CT and passed away on November 26th, 2025, with his children by his side. He was predeceased by his loving wife Bunny of sixty-six years. He is survived by his son Randy and wife Diane Tatnall and their children Tyler and Amanda, his daughter Sandy, husband Ron Drotar and their children Nick, Joe and Tim. He is also survived by his brothers Hank and Don Tatnall. His sister Caroline Tatnall-Ketchum.


Growing up in Fairfield CT, Ebby excelled in many sports. After high school he served in the marines, married his Bunny and raised his family while working at Dupont. Later on, he became an avid golfer, joining Smith-Richardson where he and his buddies shared many laughs and games on the course.  Some would say he was a great golfer, even got a few hole-in ones at tournaments. Even so, he would always strive to improve. 


Finally retiring and moving to South Carolina, he enjoyed playing a LOT of golf while making many new friends and memories.  Those who knew and loved Ebby would all agree he had a good sense of humor especially when he came out with one-liners.


Rest in peace Dad, you're with Mom now, we all love and miss you.
