Ed became involved with his grandkids and hockey; he didn’t miss many games.
Ed was a kind, generous and loving man. He loved life, friends and family. His smile will never be forgotten and will be missed. He had a great life and lived it to the fullest.

Ed and my husband Michael were best friends from the time they started school. They would spend hours talking and telling stories. Ed would spend a lot of time at Michael’s hospital bed before Michael passed in Nov / 2005. They’re together again. - Posted by: Dollie Maksymyk (Friend of the family) on: Oct 12, 2024
