Ed served his country in the WW II European theatre of war. Upon his return from overseas, he was introduced to his future wife Maybelle by his nephew. They enjoyed attending dances together and playing cards. Ed and Maybelle moved to Kamsack, Saskatchewan and started their family. Ed supported their growing family by running a butcher shop.

He worked as a custodian at OLPH School until his “second” retirement
He will be fondly remembered for his terrific sense of humour and his love of good food. He always made sure guests left the table without room for another bite.
