Edward Joseph Papas
With hearts full of love and heavy sadness we announce the passing of our dear husband and father on November 19, 2018.
He will be lovingly remembered by his wife Maxine Sonja, affectionately referred to as « my sweetheart », son Dean and daughter-in-law Caroline, sister Jennie, sisters-in-law Florence, Shirley (John), brother-in-law Ron, Godchildren Robb, Tara and Garry, numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and many treasured friends.
Predeceased by his daughter « princess » Dana Lee, his parents John and Helen, brothers Thomas and Johnny, sister Louise, parents-in-law Steve and Mary, brothers-in-law Peter, Leon and Paul, sister-in-law Deanna, nephew Greg and nieces Lorraine and Shelley.
Ed was a humble gentle soul with a quiet demeanor and a wonderful sense of humor. He was a caring man with a strong devotion to his Catholic faith. His life was a beautiful and exceptional gift and we shall always be grateful to God for having shared him with us.
Ed’s career revolved around the grocery business. He worked at Safeway, Federated Co-op, and Merchants Consolidated and finally retired as GM of Food Fare in 1995.
He enjoyed spending time outdoors cultivating his emaculate yard and garden as well as his never ending pursuit to master his golf game. Many days were spent playing cards with family, friends, food and laughter. Ed and Maxine enjoyed travelling throughout their 50 years of marriage especially getting away to their winter home in Arizona for the past 17 years.
Our sincere thank you to all the wonderful staff at River Park Gardens for their care and compassion.
A memorial service will be held at Glen Lawn Funeral Home, 455 Lagimodiere Blvd on Friday, November 23, 2018 at 10:00am.
Nos plus sincères sympathies à la famille et aux amis de Edward Joseph Papas 2018..
