Many years of memories of Ed as a faithfull, caring friend to all his senior 'church family'. Always being the chauffer to events, shopping & appointments. He enjoyed a good relationship with all ages, and kept up contact via email with many of these friends throughout the years. Ed and Ben shared the same birthdate, and always acknowledged it with his usual humerous emails. We are blessed to have been a part of Ed's very large circle of friends. He will be missed. - Posted by: Bernhard & Evelyn Rempel (long time friends and fellow church members) on: Dec 09, 2015

Ed has been coming to the Maritimes every summer to vacation with our family since I was a child. For the last 40 years he has stayed with us on our farm in Prince Edward Island. He has enjoyed watching my daughter and more recently her 3 boys growing up, and was never without his camera. He also loved his fresh lobsters and scallops. We will miss him, his pictures, stories and his jokes. - Posted by: Beth and David Smith (Cousin) on: Dec 09, 2015
