I was sad and surprised to hear that Ed had passed away. I worked with Ed at Morlee. All of the comments I have read about Ed are spot on. He was a man I am happy that I had the oppertunity to know. I send my condolences to his family and friends, and I am comforted by knowing that although Ed is missing from the earth the fond memories that he has left with us all will long surpass him. Cheers Ed Chris Sexton nee Pollard

I had the pleasure of knowing Ed for many years. First meeting him when we worked at Morlee and then working together again at Agility. He was a very warm, kind-hearted and generous man. Very rarely would you ever see Ed lose his patience. He was just by to visit a short time ago. Eddie (as I always called hime), my friend you will be missed.

We knew Ed by working with him at Morlee and then seeing him at Agility and meeting him several times in the mall or on the street. He was always ready to talk and was very informative. We can't believe he is gone. He will be missed.

Our coming to know Ed dates back to a few years ago when Todd McCallum introduced him to us, at a point when Todd & Christy were becoming tenants of one of the apartments at 1849 Dundas St. Ed was assisting Todd with some changes and painting of this apartment that was new to them. Ed ended up renting the very small front apt, but Ed said it was large enough for him. Todd as a very good friend, helped Ed and they repainted, installed new lights, etc. I was not exactly the landlord, but Sr. Pastor of the church that owned that building & also the Child Care Center next door. I enjoyed going by, watching Ed figure things out, and talking politics...one of his favorite subjects. We will sincerely miss Ed very much as will various people from our Child Care and Church. No, Ed never did get around to coming to church, but he was one of those people that others from our church will miss as they would a brother. Our sincere condolences to Ed's family and many friends. (Someone told me he had in excess of 2000 friends on Facebook on the net.)

I had the pleasure of meeting Ed when he worked at Agility Logistics Co. He was a man of great integrity and ethics. God bless him.

Ed has always been a quiet, dependable neighbour. Always considerate, always kind, just the type of person to have near a Childcare Center. He will be greatly missed.

It has been a pleasure knowing and being Eds friend for the past 18yrs. Ed is one of the most kind hearted and gentle soul person that we have ever met. Todd will miss their great long friendship and their shared love of politics, world affairs, science and the environment (which I can never have the patience to talk about like Ed does). My greatest kick of all, shortly after Todd & I got married and all 3of us went out to the mall, the cashier at one of the store, thought I was his mail order bride and Todd his son, so it became the inside joke as Todd starts out as Hi dad and Ed replies Hi son and we all just have a good laugh about it. When we had our 2girls, they have become his immediate uncle and grown accustomed to seeing him quite often. He often plays toss the bear in a blanket with my two girls even when hed rather do something else with his time but still continues on just to please them. Who knew Ed can do multi task, have a conversation about world affairs and politics with Todd, play with my girls and me trying to make him eat at the same time; of course with no hesitation he wont say no, just gives you his laugh and do it. In many occasions and every family gatherings, if Ed isnt there, we often got the question Where is Ed? as he is part of our family like always. Now on those gatherings therell always be an empty chair reserved for him. We will miss Ed greatly and the greatest lose to our family. My girls will miss Uncle Eddie, his gentle heart, kind smile, laughter and his calm personality; as my older girl took the news very hard that he is now in HEAVEN. I will miss his willingness to listen even if Im just rumbling on about anything he doesnt quite get what about but just nod and agrees with me just to make me feel that I am understood. I will miss his remarks and arguments about humanity, politics and other topics that you wouldnt say in general. Ed our dearest kind friend, YOU will be greatly missed and will always be in our thoughts. We love you, MAN!
