Ed was born on August 20, 1934, in Cadomin, AB, where he also attended school though to his high school graduation in 1952. He spent his younger years working various careers in construction and accounting in various communities throughout the Yukon and British Columbia. He eventually settled with his first wife Paula in Nanaimo BC. They had one daughter, Monique (b. 1965).
After separating, Ed met his 2nd wife Kathy in Vernon, BC, he welcomed all of his new step-children Trent, Fred and Trenna into his life. Kathy and Ed had a son, Kerby (b. 1976). They all moved to Keremeos BC where he was secretary of the Irrigation District for the next 20 years. Soon after retiring, he spent his remaining years living in Kamloops, BC with Trent’s family.
Ed was an avid sportsman, who loved curling, golfing, fishing, and sitting down for a good card game and chat. He was generous with his love and care for others always engaging and looking to make a new friend. The gap he has left in our lives, can never be filled. Thankfully the memories of his laugh, good times shared and his amazing sense of humor will stay with us forever.
