  • Sorry to read about Ed's passing. Alice & I send our condolences to Jeanne & family. We have good memories of Ed from years past when we happened to run into each other. One memory I have is when Ed brought back to Winnipeg (from his parents homestead) an old single bed which we repainted and used for our daughter when she was young. Was a good memory of Ed, every time we looked at it. - Posted by: Alice & Terry Sturk (Cousin of spouse) on: Feb 21, 2021

  • So very sorry that you have lost your Edward... I remember fondly our youth back in Grade School and Gr. 9 in the forties and fifties.... I often wondered where he was and what had been his life.... Jeanne and family, I became a Ukrainian Catholic priest now for 53 years and I promise to pray for my dear old friend and for all of you... - Posted by: Father Bohdan Lukie (Grandview classmate) on: Feb 20, 2021
