It is with heavy hearts that the Peddle family announces the peaceful passing of our father, grandfather and great-papa at home surrounded by his loving family on Tuesday, June 1, 2021.
Born in Sydney, he was the son of the late Stan and Violet Peddle.
Edward started his life’s journey 84 years ago growing up in Sydney. He then went on to Dartmouth for his mechanics diploma, where he met Lois, then married, settled in Sydney and raised a family. He pursued his career as an automotive mechanic, eventually retiring from Cape Breton Chrysler.
As a child to his adult years, he spent many summers on the Mira. He much enjoyed taking boat rides along the Mira River. He enjoyed travelling and going to hockey games and spending time with family, helping all with our mechanical problems.
Edward is survived by his son, Kevin (Margaret Maxner), Mira; daughter, Joanne (Blair) Clarke, Sydney; grandson, Wesley; granddaughters, Christianna (Philip Ozvald), Anastasia, Jessica (Kyle) Brennan, Erin, Nicole and Megan; great-grandchildren, Malik, Samira, Kingsley and Emma; sister, Shirley (Floyd) Matheson, Albert Bridge; several nieces and nephews; loving companion, Jackie MacPherson, New Waterford; extended family, Sandra (Wesley), Joanne (Robert “Yacky”), Vernon (Bernice), Jimmy, Jacqueline (Steve); and his beloved ‘fur baby” Mocha was devoted to him.
He was predeceased by his wife, Lois (MacNeil); son, Craig; brother, Gordon (Nancy); and sister, Carol Anne (Charles) Baxter.
Edward will be deeply missed by his family and all who knew him.
Thank you to Palliative Care and the VON for making Edward comfortable during his homecare.
Following Edward’s wishes, cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life will be held at Sydney Memorial Chapel at 11 a.m. on Saturday, July 17, 2021.
Memorials may be made to a charity of your choice.
