Relation: uncle

Edward, your love, understanding and sense of humour will live in our memories forever. You have given us gifts that are more precious than anything in this world. I have no words to describe how much you’ll be missed, how much you are loved and how much you have taught us all. Have a safe journey home Edward…
Our family chain is broken
and our lives are not the same
But as God calls us one by one
The chain will link again.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
With much love, Fred and Linda

I wanted to share 2 important lessons I learnt from grandpa at a very young age.
1- I remember one time when Jamie and I were around 7-8yrs old and acting like complete brats(as a lot of kids at that age do) We were driving our Mom crazy and after numerous warnings we could hear grandpa inform Mom to tell us to knock it off or he was coming to the city. We decided to call his bluff….. I think he made it to town in record time!!! I learnt that day that a man does what he says, even when it isn’t fun.

2- In grade 7 I was riding my bike home and noticed something wrong, and thought maybe the chain was loose. I decided(while the bike was moving) to reach down and check the chain with my hand. not smart, and ended up at the hospital to get stitches on 2 digits. the next time I saw grandpa(after he was done laughing at me) he proceeded to tell me “never put your hands were you wouldn’t put your……” . To this day I still remember those words and have never had a hand injury of any sorts & repeat those words every chance I get.

I always took pride in being named after you and uncle willy and a big part of who I am is because of that. Although I will miss you dearly, I am glad your fight is over. As I said to you in the hospital, I hear you, I’ll stay strong and I know what I need to do.

Until I see you again…….
