Edward John Lampi

Ed was born on March 12, 1938 in Finland, Ontario to Henry and Lemmitty Lampi. He was raised in Finland and attended High school in Fort Frances. He was united in marriage to his love of his life, Florence Cross on February 14, 1959. Ed’s love of the outdoors played a part in all aspects of his life. His first job as a scaler’s helper progressed into self-employment. His initial gravel truck soon became a logging and contracting industry. When he wasn’t operating a piece of equipment he could be found working on one in his shop. During his down time, Ed and Florence enjoyed numerous summers at their cabin spending time with the family.

He leaves behind his wife Florence; son Gordon(Kathy) Lampi, daughter Angela(Ken) Scholler; grandchildren Crystal Paterson, John Paterson(Megan Soucy), Angela Lampi, Melissa Lampi, Billy Lampi, Anthony Scholler and Brendyn Scholler; sister Elvira Dustin; brother Heikki(Laverne) Lampi as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
