EDWARD BEDNAR 1919 - 2013 With great sorrow we announce the sudden passing of Edward Bednar on July 30, 2013 at Lions Manor Personal Care Home. Edward was predeceased by his son Eddy Jr. in infancy, his wife Yolana and his brothers Rudy, Vlado and Albin. He will be missed and deeply mourned by his three children: Arthur, Nancy (Ken), and Brian (Leaha) of Vancouver; grandchildren Carla (Clint), Doug (Rachel), Chase (Amanda), and Jennifer; great-grandsons Saylor, Mason, Payton, Ryan, Nolan, Reid and brother Louis (Ann). With his parents and brothers, Edward left Slovakia in 1938 and immigrated to Canada, where they resided in Rosewood, MB. Edward served in the Canadian Military and by the stories he told it appears he enjoyed this time very much. After, he ran many successful businesses with Yolana at his side. He was very involved in the Slovak community, serving on the board of the Slovak League and was very proud of his Slovak heritage. Edward and Yolana shared their enjoyment of travel and spending time with their family. The family is grateful to the dedicated and compassionate staff of Lions Manor Personal Care Home. A celebration of his life will be held on at St. Alphonsus Roman Catholic Church, 300 Donalda Ave. on Friday, August 9, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. Interment to follow at Glen Eden. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or a charity of one's choice. Glen Eden Funeral Home 338-7111
