Obituary of Edward Then

Edward (Ed) Then Passed away peacefully, with his family by his side, at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre on February 13, 2011 in his 93rd year. Beloved husband of the late Angela Then (deceased March 11, 2010) to whom he was married for 69 glorious years. Loving and proud father of Edward (Bonita) and Milan (Jennifer). Cherished grandpa of Amy, Lindsay, Jay, and Christianne. Ed had a full and rewarding life. He was fiercely devoted to his family and strongly supportive of all of us. He left his native Czech Republic in 1948 under difficult circumstances to make a new home in Canada in 1950, and became a proud Torontonian and a proud Canadian. He enjoyed a successful career of almost 40 years at Labatt Breweries. Ed was an exceptional people person and over the years made lasting friendships with people from many walks of life, who for him, became part of his extended family.
