Ed was born November 19, 1931 in Vancouver, he lived all over the province but spent his childhood in the interior of B.C. and on the island in Port Alberni.
Ed left home at a very early age and went back to Vancouver where he got a job with two of his uncles in a Sawmill. Ed worked his whole life as a Sawfiler in the Sawmill Industry. Ed was a Volunteer Fireman for Sooke Fire Dept from 1963 to 1980 and a Scoutmaster from 1968 to 1973. He loved to play cards, especially Bridge, Crib and Euchre, which he did most every week until he got too sick. His favourite time was playing crib with Lynda every morning over a cup of coffee.
In later years Ed and Lynda travelled to Yuma, Arizona for many winters and cruised to Hawaii, Alaska, San Diego and San Francisco, while spending the last 10 years travelling to Skagit and Bellingham, Washington.
