ADOLF EDWARD (ED) ROSMUS August 12, 1939 - August 17, 2015 We are deeply saddened to announce the sudden passing of Ed on Monday, August 17, 2015 at the age of 76 years. Ed was born in Melrose, Manitoba and at an early age began to work on the family farm. Ed considered himself a handyman, but often had to call someone to fix or finish what he had started. As he got older, he decided to head west, first to Saskatoon and then to Alberta. He knew within days of arriving in Calgary that, that was the place he wanted to live; and he did so for nearly 50 years. Ed worked for Greyhound as a bus driver from 1972 until his retirement in 2001, after that, he still drove for a freight company for several more years. He often boasted about having driven four million miles in his career. Ed was a very special person who touched the lives of many by his kindness and generosity. He always thought about others before himself and will be missed by all that knew him. He is survived and remembered forever by his two sisters, Violet Rosmus and Helen Loster, niece Dawn Loster, nephew Jason Loster (Kelly), great-niece Morgan Loster, former spouse Sonja Rosmus and their children Charlene and Roger. He was predeceased by his parents, Paul and Annie Rosmus. He leaves behind many special friends. In accordance with his wishes a Memorial Service will be held at Calgary Crematorium Chapel, 3219 - 4th Street N.W., (within the valley of Queen's Park Cemetery) on Saturday, September 5, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. Please forward condolences through www.calgarycrematorium.com If friends so desire, memorial tributes may be made directly to the to the Central United Church, 131 - 7 Ave. S.W., Calgary, AB T2P 0W5, 403-269-3701.
