Ed volunteered at St. Benedict's Monastery, St. Joseph's Residence and enjoyed it immensely. He was a religious person who attended St. John Cantius Church faithfully. He was an altar boy and played the organ at the church in his youth. He was an Oblate of St. Benedict , a member of C.P.A.C. Club and St. John Cantius Seniors and member of Knights of Columbus #5369.

Flowers gratefully declined, donations may be made to St. Benedicts Foundation 255 Masters Avenue , Winnipeg, MB, R4A 2A1. If these walls could talk they would speak of a man Who has worked with great heart to accomplish his plan. They'd speak of the times that he prayed in the night For the strength to go on, and to do what is right. They'd speak of sweet moments of laughter and fun The times with his children, his love for each one. Oh, if they could talk, it would be just the start Of a story of love, a great man and his heart.
