Wolfville / Amherst - It is with broken hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Edward Alan Eagles on June 20th in The Cumberland Regional Health Care Centre in Amherst.
Ed will be remembered most for the twinkle in his eye and keen sense of humour.
Born in Moncton, New Brunswick, the youngest of four children, to Chester and Alva (Stewart) Eagles, he was a graduate of both Mount Allison University and the University of New Brunswick. His career began as a violinist, playing with the New Brunswick Symphony; but his love of English literature called him into the teaching profession.

After his retirement, he could be found most days fishing with his dear friend and colleague Graham Adams in their canoe. In 2007, Ed and Ev moved to Amherst to be closer to their daughter Amanda and her family.
Ed has left behind, his beloved wife Evlyn (South Cumberland Community Care Centre, Parrsboro), his only daughter, Amanda Allaby, son-in-law Dave, his adored grandchildren Julia and Matthew (Amherst); and his older brother Doug (Barbara) Eagles, Qualicom Beach, BC; as well as many nieces and nephews.
