Uncle Ed, words cannot express how much you will be missed. You were a non blood uncle who meant the world to my family. Your smile, fun loving spirit and attitude will be missed at the farm and lake. Big hugs and condolences to Tim and Jane’s family. - Posted by: Natalie Belisle Haslund (Friend) on: Apr 04, 2019

I have known Ed or as I called him papa Ed for at least 45 years. So much to say about papa Ed he was a man with a kind gentle loving heart. I remember going to watch him play broomball when I was young and yelling go blue go. Years later living a street over from him look out the window and all you see is papa Ed’s truck pull up he walks in and says coffee on. Papa Ed you will be sadly missed ❤️❤️ Love always my papa. - Posted by: Diane Jensen & Trent Jensen (Friend) on: Apr 04, 2019

Uncle Ed was a very special person to me. I have known him since I was born as he was one of my dad's best friend. I will always remember the fun loving memories we shared at the lake and farm. He always made us laugh and had such a great sense of humor. I'm sure going to miss you Uncle Ed! - Posted by: Jacqueline Belisle (Close family friend) on: Apr 04, 2019
