Ed was instrumental in furthering the Co-operative movement of Lowe Farm, M.B. He and my Dad Jake Harder worked together as a team in establishing the store, consumers and gas station. In 1955 he ambulanced my brother Russell to the Morris Hospital with a broken leg, having tripped and fallen in front of the Lowe Farm High School. I very much enjoyed baby-sitting Marvin, Gordon and Vernon. Ed will be remembered in many ways. - Posted by: Lorna ( Harder) Kuhlmann (Cousin) on: Apr 08, 2015

Our condolence to Mary-Lynne and family: Our thoughts are with you Mary-Lynne. It saddens our hearts to see his passing. To sit with Ed on warm sunny days or not was always a great day. He had many great stories and was a very warm hearted person. He will be missed. Always, Ken and Lynette Ruta - Posted by: (extended family) on: Apr 08, 2015
