Our firm worked with Ed Wood on various aboriginal projects in the 1980s. He was a decent and honorable fellow who supported our work. - Posted by: Grant Wichenko (Business associate) on: Oct 28, 2019

Very sorry to hear of Ed’s passing. He was a fine man, a friend for many years I’m unable to attend any services as I’m in Arizona right now. My deepest sympathy to his family. - Posted by: George Brotherston (Friend) on: Oct 26, 2019

I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to get to know Ed over the past half a decade. He and Jean have always been supportive, kind and loving towards me. Having lost my own dad over 15 years ago, I felt a lot of comfort in his presence. I loved cooking for him as he was always thankful; as was my own father. I will miss his wisdom and strength. He was an angel on earth and I am certain he will continue this role in heaven. My condolences to the family and friends he has... I know they were plentiful. - Posted by: Sandra McGonigal (Friend of the family ) on: Oct 26, 2019
