Look up Deedy in Websters Dictionary and you will see the following definition - \Deed"y\, a. Industrious; active. [R.] --Cowper. But to me Deedy is simply my last name and not a very common one at that. My Father always said "find yourself in a strange city? Open a phone book, find a Deedy and give them a call - chances are they are a relative." So, for all the Deedy's out there hello and welcome.


Deedy Square Still There


A bit ago my cousin Shaun was kind enough to send along some photos he took in 2001 of Deedy Square in Worcester. I posted about the dedicated of the square here: Deedy Square in Worcester. The square is still there, be sure to visit if in Worcester, MA.
DEEDY SQUARE
Montrose & Euclid Streets
in Memory of LT John J. Deedy
Born: September 22, 1914
Wounded in battle – St. Lo, France
Died in England July 28, 1944
Another marker to remember John J. Deedy can be found in the nearby St. John's Cemetery. Photos of that memorial can be found in the 2008 Cemetery Tour.

    As a young boy, we played whiffle ball at Deedy square. I never realized the significance of this dedicated square until I joined the service in 1973, retiring in 2010. Thanks to people like LT Deedy, we enjoy freedoms unseen in many parts of the world.

    I re-visited the square in 2010 while temporarily living back in Worcester. Great to see the monument to LT Deedy standing tall!!
