I would like to express my condolences to you boys. I remember you well and I came to appreciate your mother and father during the two years I spent at Rush Lake.

On behalf of myself, Dawn & Jim:
I was saddened to learn of Edwin's passing. Both Edwin & Vi were esteemed friends of my mother & father. I have wonderful memories of the times they visited our home. Edwin was a groomsman at my parent's wedding (Jessie & Alex), in 1946.
Edwin always had a twinkle in his eye, and a smile on his face. He will be missed.
May your memories bring you comfort and peace in the coming years.
