The family moved to Saskatoon in 1980 and returned to Winnipeg in 1986 when he started his own business, Seven Oaks Painting & Decorating. Both sons, Ed Jr., Darren and grandson Andrew worked for the business. Dad was a man with a very big heart and would do anything for anyone. The door was always open at Seven Oaks. Dad loved golfing and was proud of his hole in one. He enjoyed fishing, camping at Bird River, boating, his visits to Toys R' Us with the grandkids, and spending the last 42 years with Regina, doing everything together. A memorial service will be held on Monday, December 23 at 1:00 p.m. at Wheeler Funeral Home, Cemetery & Crematorium, 1800 Day St. "With tearful eyes we watched you, And saw you pass away.

My heart goes out to Ed Jr., Darren & Family. I used to live right behind Seven Oaks Painting & Decorating with my parents who still live there. I remember every day your dad would go out to the back of the shop and find inappropriate used condoms in the back, kind of funny but he wasn't very happy. Every time I was walking your dad would always wave to me. Gonna miss seeing him from time to time, we sure lost a good one. My condolences to all of you, your dad was a man with such a kind heart. - Posted by: Tammy Jackson (friend) on: Dec 29, 2013
