Ed continued to work after retirement for many years at Alpha Dairy. Edgar enjoyed golfing, gardening and visiting his friends at the Royal Canadian Legion where he loved to play pool.
Edgar will be dearly missed by family friends, Stan & Pat McGowan of Evansburg, AB. Stan and Ed served many years together in the RCAF and remained close friends.
The Taylor family would also like to thank Tammy Demers for your continued friendship with our father, visiting dad every two weeks to cut that hair! He loved your visits, thank you for being so devoted. Another huge thank you to the awesome staff at St. Michael’s Health Centre – 2nd West for the wonderful care you gave our Dad.
