Ed was predeceased by his wife, Mary, and his son, Peter. He is survived by his sons Michael and Steven and his daughters, Sheila and Mary-Anne along with 17 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren. Ed was born in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, the eldest of 3 children. He graduated from Dalhousie University with a law degree and had his own law practise in Colwood for many years. He enjoyed all sports but especially golf where he was a long-time member and past President of Uplands Golf Club. He was a man of faith and the family takes comfort in the knowledge that he is now in the presence of his Lord and Saviour. The family wishes to express gratitude to all those who gave their love and support in his final years. He was a larger than life character who touched many people and will be greatly missed. A funeral mass will take place in Saskatoon on July 9th. There will also be a Celebration of Life in Victoria at a later date. Times Colonist Victoria,BC July 2016 Died July 1, 2016 in Saskatoon; perhaps not in the city he loved best, as he resided in Victoria, but certainly amidst family, whose "home" meant a life that included him! Many will miss Ed, even those who didn't know his name, but were greeted with a bright hello if he passed them with his walking sticks, or while he was reclined on a random park bench doing his back exercises. He loved the Lord, family, nature, music, and sports. His heart was ever grateful for knowing he lived the good life; each prayer always had a thank you. Dad was proud of the fact that he was a grandfather of 17 and great-grampie of 9. He taught us all to make the best of each day, to suffer the losses in life, and find your smile again by still counting the blessings. He was 92 years amazing, and we will miss him very much! Left to remember him are his children Michael (Val), Steven (Debbie), MaryAnne Rogers, and Sheila Trumpy (Dennis) and their families. Ed was predeceased by his wife Mary, son Peter, and granddaughter Rachel . A Funeral will be held at Holy Spirit, July 9, 2016 at 2:00. In this Year of Mercy, we ask that in memory of Ed's life you do a kind and generous act for an elderly person you meet along your way.
