Loving father and best friend of Patricia. Husband of Glenys, father of Barbara (Amadori) and grandfather of Michael, David and Heather.

Ev enlisted in the army in 1940 as a Private and was discharged in 1945 as a Major. Ev was a D-Day Veteran of WWII and was a member of the Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Highlanders (SD&G) and attended reunions yearly.

Ev worked at The Toronto Dominon Bank for 45 years and when he retired he said "I don't know how I found time to work.", as he lived his retirement years to the fullest. He was a member in good standing with the ROMEOS (Retired Old Men Eating Out). Ev and Glenys went to Edgewater Village in Florida and rented a condo for 3 months and celebrated New Years Eve every year for 25 years at The Briars.
