Ed was born in Winnipeg on January 15, 1924 and grew up in the St. James area. He joined the Royal Canadian Artillery (R.C.A.) on February 26, 1941 and went overseas seven months later with the 32nd Light Anti-Aircraft Battery. He was with Air Defence in England until 1944. D-Day, June 6, 1944, he went to Normandy and in May 1945 he participated in the Liberation of Holland. He returned to Canada in September 1945. He rejoined the Canadian Army on January 31, 1947 and served with the R.C.A. until March 3, 1971. During this time he served a year in Korea and three years with NATO in Germany.

Ed was awarded a life membership and the Legion Meritorious Service Medal by the St. James Legion and the Palm Leaf to the Meritorious Service Medal by the Churchill Legion. The long-term effects of kidney disease, diabetes and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) eventually took their terrible toll on him physically, but they never broke his spirit. We would like to thank all the doctors and nurses who helped to take care of him over the many years of his illness with a special thank you to Dr. Spence, Dr. Nel and all the heath care workers in Whitemouth. Thank you also to the staff of Pinawa Hospital for their compassionate care and kindness during the last four days of Ed's life.
