Edward will be missed by his devoted and loving wife, Louise; three children Ken, Lynn and Bruce (Pearl); and four grandchildren Jonathan, Lucas, Julia and Bradley.
Edward and his sister, Elsie, the children of German immigrants, grew up on the family farm in Tiger Lily, Alberta. They attended a one-room school house in their small community.
Edward graduated from Barrhead High School and went on to enlist in the Royal Canadian Navy. Following his discharge, he became a chartered accountant and worked for a number of companies in Edmonton.
Edward operated a moving company and then drove truck for several years. Amazingly, he worked in the Alberta oil patch as a roughneck for 15 years until age 60. He continued his working career as a delivery driver for Canada Post until his retirement at age 80.
Edward was a natural and accomplished musician and played regularly around the Edmonton area for many years.
The family would like to thank the staff at CapitalCare Norwood for their kindness and compassionate care. Thank you!
Memorial Service will be held on Monday July 29, 2024 at 1:00 PM from Rose Garden Chapel, Barrhead, AB.
Donations can be made to Holy Cross Cemetery Mosside.
