Ed passed away peacefully in Toronto, Sunday, December 6, 2020. Beloved father of Robert (Ana Maria) and Ian (Arlene). Loving and devoted grandfather of John (Amanda), Anne (Jason), Hannajoy (Bruce) and Aedan. Great-grandpa to Alexander, Spencer, Burton, Halen and Bellamy. Brother to Norma, and Arlene Shaw (deceased), uncle to Andrea and Noel.

 

Ed was a WWII D-Day veteran serving with the Royal Corps of Engineers.  He followed this with a long career in consulting engineering, and was one of the founding members of Hatch. Ed was a passionate supporter of veterans affairs and put a great amount of effort into having a memorial wall of names erected to honour the sacrifice of Canada's fallen. The human price of war was always forefront in his mind. He also enjoyed many years of marching and playing the bagpipes for various bands including the Shriners and Royal Canadian Legion, faithfully marching annually at the CNE Warriors Day Parade.
