Edward lived a full and meaningful life. He excelled in all of his career paths, was a math savant, and possessed a remarkable wealth of knowledge, discernment, and wisdom. If Ed knew you, he loved you! “Fish on!”— he loved fishing. He also loved God deeply and never wavered in his faith and devotion. Thank you, Ed, for being you.

Edward was predeceased by his parents, Albert and Aurore; his brother George (Aline); and sister-in-law Denise.
