Ed farmed the family farm in the Maryfield area and together with his wife raised their family in the community of Maryfield. In Ed's youth, he enjoyed participating in football, hockey, baseball, track and field and curling.
Later in Ed's life, he continued enjoying sport by coaching baseball and hockey, being an umpire and acting as the president of minor baseball for several years. Ed was an involved parent when he watched his children play hockey, do Karate, and figure skate.
His family was one thing that he was most proud of and his joy was increased when he could travel around to his grandchildren's various sporting activities. Ed also took pride in his fruit trees and coin collecting.
Ed became ill in May and was diagnosed with liver cancer in June. Ed lost his battle peacefully with his family to support him.
