 Edward was predeceased by his wife of 64 years Kris in 2005, his son Arni in 2004, daughter-in-law Dorothy in 2004, his brother John, his sister Beatrice and parents Bill and Jessie.

 Dad was born and raised in Watrous, SK where he left to attendOptometry College graduating in 1937.

Married in 1941 Dad shortly thereafter enlisted and became part of W.W.II. Following the war Dad and Mom settled in Moose Jaw where he practised Optometry for many years as well as engaging in numerous other business “Adventures”. Dad was an active member and volunteer of the Moose Jaw Shriner Club as well as the Curling Club and the Golf Club.

 With two of his three children in Kamloops Dad and Mom moved to Kamloops in 1977. He was a member of the Kamloops Golf Course and later Mt. Paul Golf as well as the Kamloops Curling Club.

Dad volunteered for meals on wheels, the Canada Summer Games and several curling events.

 He was a family man with an easy going positive personality. Dad had a great sense of humor and a quick wit and made friends wherever he was.

 Dad and Mom loved to travel and visited many destinations; however, Hawaii was his favorite. Sun, swimming, snorkeling, cards and cocktails made for a complete day.

 We would like to give a special thanks to all of Dad’s faithful visitors especially to Emil and Shauna, as well to his amazing care givers and nurses at Ridgeview Lodge. Thank you to Dr. Eccleston for his above and beyond care and attention of Dad.

 Lovingly remembered
