He was employed by the City of Winnipeg Traffic Signals Department for 32 years, retiring in April, 1993. Ed was a loving and caring person with a wonderful sense of humour who lived for his family and friends. He had a heart of gold and was able to put a smile on everyones face. Ed enjoyed the outdoors and spent many memorable summers at the Oasis. He loved camping, fishing, walking and gardening. He spent countless hours in his yard and looking after his cherished tomatoes. People who knew Ed quickly discovered his love for country music (not dancing!) Since retirement, Ed and Marge enjoyed travelling to many destinations down south during the winter months. Their last trip was to Puerto Vallarta in February of 1999. Ed had full intentions of travelling to Mexico again this winter. Special thanks to the staff at the Manitoba Cancer Clinic and Dr. Harlos and staff at the St. Boniface Hospital Palliative Care Unit. Cremation has taken place.
