EDWIN A. LIMERICK December 1, 1909 - July 1, 2011 After a very long and interesting life, Edwin Limerick passed away at the age of 101 in Pine Falls General Hospital, Pine Falls, Manitoba. His beloved wife, Lillian, predeceased him in 1985. Edwin was born in Muenster, Saskatchewan and Lillian in Miniota, Manitoba. They met in Winnipeg and together raised a family of three sons - George, Donald and Richard. Edwin is survived by his sister, Eileen, sons George (Beverley), Donald (Joyce, deceased), Richard (Marjorie), grandchildren Carol, Lynn (Bob), Gail (Gerry), Heather (Robert), Karen (Michael), Kelly (Mark), great-grandchildren Maxine, Holly, Andrew, Jaime, niece Beverly, and nephews William, Brian and Donald. At the age of 90, Edwin got his first computer. With the collaboration of son, Donald and granddaughter, Heather, Edwin compiled a Limerick Family History of photographs and narrative dating back to 1801. After several computers and many printers, Edwin's History is three volumes long and he was updating it in his last year. A special thanks to Dad's Home Care girls who took such good care of him at his home in Belair, Manitoba and also the staff at Pine Falls General Hospital for their compassionate care over the last several months. If you wish to remember Edwin, a donation to the charity of your choice would be appreciated.
