Oh my gosh, I didn’t know. I texted you yesterday wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas. When I didn’t hear back, I went to check your facebook and that’s how I found out. My dear good neighbour Ed. You were always so kind to me, my husband and my kids. You helped us with a lot of things. We will remember you forever and we will keep you in our hearts. My son still asks about you, now I can tell him you are no longer in pain and you sre now with God. Rest easy my friend. ❤️
I just heard the sad news of Ed’s passing. I was unaware. I worked alongside him for many years at the airport. Ed was a stand-up guy, a real pleasure to work with. Always cheerful and upbeat. He would speak so lovingly about his son and daughter. So proud of his family. My sincere condolences.
It was pleasure to work with Eddie at Air Canada and I enjoyed getting to know him during that time. My sincere condolences to his family for your loss.
Louise, Nancy and I send our deepest condolences and prayers to you and your family. Cherish the happy memories in this difficult time.
Karen & Fred, thinking of you and sending my sincerest sympathy to you and all of your family. May your memories help to heal your sadness.
