Ed drove for Calgary Transit for 38 years and retired in 2008. He was an outgoing and very friendly person who made friends very easily. He will be sorely missed by all his family and friends and all who knew and loved him. The family would like to thank Sage Hill Senior Living and especially Bethany Calgary for welcoming Ed into their lives and making him feel at home. We would especially thank the Foothills Hospital Emergency Department and Unit 36 for all the staff and everyone who worked around the clock to help and treat him. They cared for him and the family while he was there.
