Ed was born August 30, 1936 in Vermilion. He grew up on a farm in the Ottawa district north of town.  After completing high school in Vermilion he helped on the family farm and worked at Craig’s Department Store for a short time.  Ed began his life long career in Parts and Service at Geo.C. Webb & Sons in 1958.  Webb’s became Ed’s other family and second home.  He retired from Webb’s  in 1997.

Ed married Sheila Smith on May 8, 1965.  They had two daughters, Maureen and Selene.  Ed’s favorite times were making memories with his family.  Many summers were spent at Laurier Lake and winters had Ed and Sheila heading to a warm destination for a short time until he was no longer able to travel.

Ed enjoyed a good game of cards, curling, fishing, bird hunting and golfing.  He was a member of the Legion, the Elks and Knights of Columbus.  In recent years, he’d head to Webb’s every morning to joke with the girls and have coffee with his buddies. Afternoons you could find him playing pool at the Senior’s Centre or having coffee at the Co-op.

His pride and joy were his grandkids and great-grandkids.  They could always bring a smile to his face and they had him wrapped around their little fingers.  He was so loved and will be greatly missed.
