Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryEDWARD RONALD MILLIGAN Our family is saddened to announce the peaceful passing of our dad and grandpa, Edward, on Saturday October 13, 2017 at the age of 86, surrounded by his loving family. He will be deeply missed by his children, Dawn; Guyle, wife Debbie; Kerry, husband Greg. Grandpa was loved, admired and respected by his grandchildren, Kayla, Blair, Courtney, Scott, wife Kelly; Meghan and Connor. Dad was predeceased by his loving wife of almost 57 years, Florence in 2013. He was also predeceased by his mother Flora; father Edward; brothers, Donald, Gerald and Nelson; sister Pat and mother-in law Kay McNabb. He also leaves to mourn his sisters, Evelyn, Yvonne (Sandy), Joyce (Bob); brother-in-law Ed and many nieces, nephews and cousins. Dad was born in Pipestone on July 11, 1931, where he was raised. In 1948, dad became a proud employee of Manitoba Hydro, starting out as a lineman and retiring as an area supervisor after 44 years in 1992. Dad had a true love of family. Family gatherings around the table during holidays were always enjoyed; especially when dessert was served! His funny sayings, mischievous blue eyes and that wonderful laugh and smile will be treasured by all of us. The family would like to thank Holy Family Personal Care Home, Golden Links Personal Care Home and St. Boniface Hospital for their care of dad. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, October 28, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. at Glen Lawn Funeral Home, 455 Lagimodiere Blvd. A private family interment will be held at a later date.

I worked for Manitoba Hydro at 375 Dawson Rd when Ed was the supervisor of the St Boniface District. He was always so kind, caring and considerate. Ed worked hard and cared deeply for those he worked with. He also had a good sense of humour and I will always remember sitring near his office and hearing his laugh ring out! Ed's love for his family was very obvious and he often would share some stories. We were both pleased and surprised to find out I grew up in Windsor Park and that I knew Dawn. She had been friends with my sister Jenny. My deep condolences to Dawn and the whole family on your loss. Your dad was one of the nicest people I ever knew. ll never forget Ed and his kindness. May you find comfort in all your wonderful memories of good times together. - Posted by: Roxanne Byron Anderson (former co-worker) on: Oct 30, 2017

Dear Dawn, Guyle, Debbie, Kerry, Greg and grandchildren. We will all miss Uncle Edward very much. He was a wonderful big brother to our Dad. He could always be counted on for sensible, sound advice and recollections of the Milligan history. I have a film of he and Aunty Florence attending a birthday party at our house and it is a wonderful keepsake. What a wonderful couple they were. I remember them visiting me in Calgary while there for hockey. I also appreciated so much their visits to Liam when he was in hospital as a preemie. May you find strength in learning to deal with this tremendous loss. Love, Catherine, Bill, Brittany, Liam, Betty and Nelson Junior - Posted by: Catherine Milligan (Niece) on: Oct 25, 2017

My heart felt condolences. You dad was a special person and a nice guy. Ed had a huge influence on me. Working for him, in my late teens, and getting all his assistance and direction is something I will always appreciate. We are touring in Africa and unfortunately cannot attend the funeral but thinking of you. - Posted by: Brian McAughey (familyt) on: Oct 21, 2017
