Nos plus sincères sympathies à la famille et aux amis de Erhard ‘Ed’ Bierer 2019..
Décès pour la Ville: Windsor, Province: Ontario
Ed has been our neighbour for several years, and a bit of local furniture, always out walking his little dog Molly and puffing on a stogie. It’s a big block – Riverside, Buckingham, Wyandotte to Pillette – a mile around and he did it four times a day, seemingly independent of the weather and season – though I think he skipped the worst blizzards. Ed always had a friendly smile and frequently stopped for a chat about any number of things, but mostly just to say hi. Even when you didn’t catch him sometimes you would know he had just passed by the smell of his cigar. Tiny shy Molly was almost always with him, chewing on the grass, or wanting a pat but too shy to take one, but when the weather got too bad Ed would leave her at home. The obit notes his passing was sudden. Indeed, he was out doing his regular rounds until the day before he died. Ed, you will be missed. My condolences to his family. John McKay
