Condolences & Memories (3 entries)

  • I just wanted to convey my sincere sympathies to Marlene and the entire family on their loss. I lost my daughter, Donna, on September 23, 2015 at 47 years of age. I can relate to how you are feeling and am so very sorry. I remember Ed very well from when Marlene and I were kids and hung out together. Many happy memories.

  • Dear Pat and family: We are very saddened to learn of Ed's passing. We loved him dearly as a friend and later, as a critical part of the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra board team that helped bring it back to life. I could not have done what I did as chair without Ed and he deserves a large vote of thanks from the orchestra. He was a warm and caring man who made a very large contribution to this community in so many ways. Winnipeg will be emptier without him.

  • Dear Martens family..we are so sorry to hear of Ed's passing and extend out condolences to you all. When Vic and I got married, (October '64) he was an insurance man and came to give us the talk....Vic and I both vividly remember him speaking of our future earning power. He told us it was very possible that we would, in the near future be making $10,000.00 a year!!! When we moved to BC shortly after that, Vic was making $400.00 a month. So you can see that Ed made a huge impression on us. - Posted by: Erica Elaine Schmidt (Aunt Erica Voth's oldest daughter) on: Sep 18, 2015
