He is survived by his beloved wife and best friend of 49 years, Anne (nee Magel), sisters, Laura (Gaston) Corneillie, Myrtle Chartrand, Georgina Sirant, Alaine (Charles) Carlson, brother Arnold (Barbara Calder), sisters-in-law, Maxine Goetz, Barbara Magel, brothers-in-law Mike Domanski, and John Magel and numerous nieces, nephews and other family and friends. Predeceased by his birth mother, Augustina, father Alexander, stepmother Pauline, sister Shirley Domanski, brother Bert, mother-in-law Anne Magel, brothers-in-law Roman Sirant and Joseph Magel. Edward was born and raised in Winnipeg and was employed at Manitoba Telephone Systems (MTS Allstream) for 37 years. He enjoyed baseball, curling, golfing and especially traveling to many parts of the world with his wife. I would like to thank Dr. A.

I looked to you for happiness and found it at my side I've turned to you for comfort and your arms were opened wide. We've cared together and shared together the special joys in life. And I've learned how precious love has been between a man and wife. I will keep you within my heart and there you will remain, To walk with me throughout my life Until we meet again.
