Dear Rita & Blake,

My deepest sympathies to you and your extended family. I had the pleasure of working with Eddy at 3M in Calgary. I’ll always remember his incredible sense of humour and kind soul. He always spoke lovingly about his family. He will be missed but I know he will always live on in our hearts.

With loving memories of Ed,

Ann

Dear Rita and family …. it is with great sorrow that I learned of Ed’s passing. He was a delight to work with, always obliging and always cheerful. I’m sure that you will miss him terribly, but know that he was loved and appreciated. Our sincere condolences to you and your entire family.

Ed was truly a great husband to Rita and father to Blake. He was also one of the pioneers of our company. His understanding of the commitment it took to start and maintain a business was unwavering. We have such happy memories of Ed and he will forever be in our hearts.

Love,

from the KDM family.

Our heartfelt condolences to Rita and family for your loss. We were so sorry to hear about Ed’s passing and our prayers are with you.

Dear Rita, Blake and Jenny

So sorry to hear about Ed’s passing. Our most heartfelt sympathy to the family. Ed was a great friend with a quick smile. I miss our after work golf games and will miss his funny e-mails and off-the-wall Christmas cards. Gone too soon.

Dear Rita,

We were just speaking of your husband the other day; little did we know that he would pass on so soon afterwards. Even when the end is expected, and sometimes a blessing, it is still such a sad occasion when we know it will be some time before we get to see our loved one again. My thoughts and sympathy are with you and your family. May your happy memories bring you peace and comfort.

Rita and family, I am truly saddened to hear of the passing of Ed. We worked together in Ottawa. He always brought that little extra measure of joy to our days. May Ed rest in peace now that he is in a better place and my prayers go out to Rita and family.

Sorry to learn of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with Rita, Blake and family. Ed will be remembered as a man always willing to give a helping hand. He will be missed by his fellow 3Mers.

Rita, Alberta and family,

As a former resident of Manor Park in Ottawa, I want to offer my sympathies to you. Growing up Ed was often at our house with my brother Bryce. My thoughts are with you.

Sincerely,

I am so sorry to hear of Ed’s passing; I worked with Ed at 3M for many years, he was such a nice man and my most consistent supplier of email jokes. He will be missed by all you knew him!

Rita and Blake, very sorry to learn about your husband and dad’s loss. My sincere condolence to you both. Lots of courage in this time and the days after. Ed was a great boss at 3M in Ottawa. He was not only my boss, but a great friend that always helped me in my time at work with him.

Dear Rita, Blake, Jenny & family,

My sincere condolences on the passing of your father. Ed was always such a thoughtful person and so quick with a smile or a helping hand for all of his co-workers. He always took such pride in his family and never passed up an opportunity to brag about you. I know he will be missed dearly by all of you. With heartfelt sympathy, Rosemary

A good man with a gentle heart and genuine spirit taken too soon. My sincere thoughts and prayers go out to Rita, Blake and the extended family.

Condolences to Rita and family, I worked with Ed in the 3M Ottawa Branch in the mid-70’s. Ed was always very accomodating and supportive and always eager to assist any time help was needed. A true gentleman.

Rita & family, I was so sorry to hear of Ed’s passing. I worked with him at 3M for many years. He was always a happy person with a great sense of humour. So sorry for your loss

We were just discussing Ed and how we had not heard anything from him in sometime. He will be missed, his smile and sense of humor while we worked at 3M were unmistakable.

Ed was a good friend and co-worker at 3M Canada. His jokes and he will be missed tremendously. My condolences to his family and hope he will watch over the rest of us until we join him.
