Peacefully on April 12, 2025 Ed passed away at the Seven Oaks Hospital at the age of 96.
He will be missed by his beloved wife Merle of 73 years. Also left to mourn are his children Allan (Janice), Karen (David), Lyle (Helen), six grandchildren, and ten great-grandchildren. He was predeceased by his sisters Kay, Edith, and Mary.
Ed was raised on a farm in La Riviere and started to work with the Manitoba Power Commission in 1947 during the farm electrification program. He married Merle Hammond of Wood Bay District in 1951.
