Edward will be deeply missed. He was the kindest person I know and have seen in my life.
I had the real honour to live in his house for some years and know him since 30 years ago.
I have learnt a lot from Edward. Edward has helped many during his life.
May God bless his kind soul.

Edward had a rich and fulfilled life. He had a loving family and loved them deeply. Although we did not see him often ( living in the UK) we always looked forward to his handcrafted Christmas cards with all his news from the year and amazing original designs.

Edward was such a kind man. I’ve never forgotten the kindnesses he showed me at a difficult time of my life when I became a single parent. He set a wonderful example of how to live life. I remember too his immense creative spirit and his interest in all around him. Veronica

Dave joins me in sending you, Brenda, Miriam, Janis, Patrick and Caroline and all your families, our sincere condolences at this time of loss. RIP Edward.

Edward's family and friends

Edward was an island of serenity for all students and teachers at the Geology Department of the University of Ottawa. I still remember his noble and kind words having a British accent.
The world needs many more of his type of humans.

Alan and I were very sad to hear of Edward's death. We got to know him through a group called Concerts Cumberland that gave chamber music concerts in the Cumberland/Orleans area. He was a valued member of our group and, since then, have always looked forward to receiving one his most imaginative Christmas cards. We are not surprised that charitable donations can be made to OrKidstra in Edward's name, they were the recipients of Concerts Cumberland's closing balance. Edward is well remembered.
