Ed was born on December 8, 1932 and was raised on the family farm in Faulkner. Ed and his brothers Herb and Harold took over the family farm in 1955. In 1983 they purchased the Proux Ranch in Waterhen and farmed until they sold the ranch and retired in 1998. Although he was retired, he was always still the Boss at the original farm where Bill and Joan Springer took over. Ed enjoyed baseball, curling, hunting and his TV sports. He also enjoyed a good competitive game of cards - as long you let him win. He will be greatly missed and remembered by everyone who knew him.

Pallbearers will be Bill Springer, Alan Springer, Donnie Springer, Brent Springer, Tyler Bobier, Arron Bobier. Honourary pallbearers will be all his hunting buddies. Thank you to Joan for becoming Ed's main provider, if it wasn't for the care you provided for him, we would not have enjoyed so many extra years with him. Thank you to Darlene Springer and the Lakeshore General Hospital for your many years of ongoing care given. Also a special thank you to Dr. Harris and the CancerCare unit.
