Ed was predeceased by his long time friend & companion Jean Cyncora in January/06. Survived by his children, Rick of Abbotsford, Michelle of Castlegar, Earla of Edmonton, 6 grandchildren, sister Donna & brother Rob.
Ed was a long time resident of Whiskey Creek having moved to the Island when he was about 16 years old. His greatest passion as a young man was music, & he played in several bands. He wrote & recorded several nice country records, and even recorded  a ‘ Parksville Song’  and also one about the Bathtub race.
Ed worked in logging camps most of his working career in camps up & down the coast, he later turned to carpentry, mushroom buying & salisle picking in his spare time. He was always keeping busy, maintaining a huge garden and a park-like property. He truly loved the Island and walking in the bush.
His quick wit, humor, music & presence will be sadly missed by all his family,  friends, especially long time friends
Orest & Linda Babiuk of Port Alberni as well as all his Bingo Buddies.
