Ed was a true inspiration to all that knew him or crossed paths with him. He never missed his morning or afternoon walks; rain, shine, wind or a foot of snow on the sidewalks. Nothing stopped him, not even the daily calls from his family telling him to walk the halls instead due to the weather. He was never one to listen and always went to the beat of his own drum. Ed's favorite passion was sailing and he spent a lifetime doing so with Shirley assisting at the helm, again rain or shine. Ed always looked forward to Wednesday night races at Shearwater Yacht Club with his boat SEARAM and his dedicated crew. Another favorite past time was his stamp and coin collection, Ed would spend day in and out working on his stamps and sorting through his coins. You could never pass a post office without pulling in to see what new stamps they had. He spent many mornings throughout the years with his walking buddies at McDonalds, Subway or Superstore gabbing away.
Ed was one of the first to open the office of Dominion of Canada General Insurance Company in 1979 as a Claims Supervisor in Halifax. He was a dedicated member of The Masonic Temple and a past Grand Master. Ed was also a Major in the Lincoln and Welland Regiment in Saint Catharines Ontario.
Ed was a devoted Father and Grandfather and loved to spend time with all of his children and grand children. Going for walks, gardening, attending paint nights, playing Sunday cards and so much more. His determination, positivity, inner strength with a touch of stubborn made him thrive every day.
