It is with heavy hearts
that we announce the passing of Eric on Saturday, February 24, 2024,
just a few days short of his 93rd birthday. He
was born in Halifax, the son of John and Laura (Smith) Edwards of
Eastern Passage, N.S.
Eric is survived by his
three children – Joan Burke (Lester), William (Jill) and
Andrew (Stephanie), nine grandchildren – Erin, Benjamin,
Mitchell, Luke, Julie, John, Thomas, Elizabeth and Jennifer, and
fourteen great-grandchildren – Patrick, Eli, Eva, Ezra,
Susannah, Leo, Kaleb, Valentino, Angelina, Logan, Brielle, Lachlan,
Charles, and Caleb.
Eric was pre-deceased by
Margie, his wife of 67 years, in 2022 and his sister, Marian (Francis
Hourihan) in 2014, and siblings Reginald, Lawrence, and Margaret, all
of whom died in infancy.
Prior to retirement, Eric
and his family spent 30 years in Saint John, N.B. where he was the
manager of K-Mart. After retirement, Eric and Margie spent
many happy winters in the warm Florida sunshine and summers in their
Shediac home. Eric enjoyed spending time with his family, playing
golf, lawn bowling and cards. The last number of years, Eric continued
to spend his summers in Shediac (where his great-grandchildren loved
to drop in after a swim for a refreshing popsicle and to hear his
latest jokes) and his winters in Shannex in Quispamsis where he was an
avid card player, excelling at 45’s, bridge and crib. Always
the perfect gentleman, his outgoing and cheerful personality made him
a friend to all. He will be deeply missed by all who knew
him.
At Eric’s
request, there will be no visitations, but funeral and burial services
will be held in in St Mark Catholic Church, 171 Pettingill Road,
Quispamsis NB, on Wednesday, August 14 at 10
a.m.
In lieu of flowers,
donations may be made in Eric’s name to CNIB, Heart
& Stroke Foundation or to a charity of the donor’s
