EDMUND WALL
Born: Jan 10, 1929
Date of Passing: Oct 30, 2017
Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryEDMUND WALL January 10, 1929 - October 30, 2017 Edmund Wall, born in Plum Coulee, Manitoba to Susannah Wall (nee Giesbrecht) and Johan Wall, beloved husband of 64 years to Violet Wall, loving father to Tim Wall (Don Rogers) and David Wall, and grandfather to Jordan and Elizabeth Wall (Adam Kozak). Ed started his working life during the great flood of 1950 as a journeyman cable splicer for the Manitoba Telephone System, retiring after 34 years in the engineering department. A selfless man dedicated to serving others, he donated countless hours to the church, CancerCare Manitoba, donating blood and quietly trying to ease the burdens of his neighbours however he could. Ed was perhaps the happiest when working on the family cottage he built at Winnipeg Beach or working in the fields while on summer vacation at cousin Arne and Betty Hafer's fruit farm in Michigan. Every day Ed demonstrated the meaning of love and the tremendous responsibility that comes with being a husband and father. He taught his sons what it meant to be a real man, to be kind and gentle, compassionate and caring, tolerant, humble, and generous, to listen more than talk and live with integrity. Unfortunately, he was less successful at trying to teach them basic car mechanics and sports but not from a lack of trying. Ed was the best of men. A private family interment will follow at a later date. The family is incredibly grateful to the staff at Oakview Extendicare for the loving care Dad received while in their charge.

I was a great shock to find out about the passing of Uncle Eddie. A few days ago I got a strange feeling and went on line to find out that he had passed. Unfortunately we had already sent a xmas card to Vi and Eddie asking how they were doing. I will remember him as one of the most easy going and likeable people I have met. He was very funny. I still remember driving with him on the back roads of Southern Ontario and him waving at the local cops as they drove by much to the embarrassment to others in the car. I would have been proud to have had him as a Dad. My sincere condolences to Tim, David and especially Aunt Vi. Thinking of you - Glen and Linda - Posted by: Glen Plant (nephew) on: Dec 22, 2017

Unfortunately I never knew my Uncle Eddie, which is how my dad referred to him my whole life. He sounds like he was a very loving and giving man. I felt alot of love and pride inside when reading his obituary. I definitely see a lot of resemblances in him and my dad. My sincere condolences go out to Auntie Vi, Tim and David. ♥️ - Posted by: Lana Sabraw (Niece (daughter to Lester)) on: Nov 05, 2017
