Resident Spotlight: Ed and Linda Dias

As of August 30, 2019, Ed and Linda Dias will complete their first year of residency in Indian River Colony Club. While at a local doctor’s office, Linda noticed an IRCC advertisement in the Viera Voice. They were so intrigued with the concept of a 55+ military community that they began their search for a home in IRCC immediately. Ed and Linda found their forever home on Yorktown Court, with the help of Linda from IRCC’s Four Star Reality. Their previous home was in Mayport, Florida.

In addition, Linda has two sons-in-law who are US Navy veterans with a combined total of 16 years of service.
