On Friday, August 12, our beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather passed away in St. Boniface Hospital at the age of 91.

 

He will be deeply missed and remembered by his cherished wife of 65 years, Elisabeth, his eldest daughter Lisa Campbell (Rudy Hajer, deceased), their children Jesse Hajer (Larissa Ashdown-Hajer) and Heidi Boon (Jeremy); son John (Monique Kirouac), and daughters Sherisse (Patrick Matte) and Leslee Sylvestre (Serge) with mother Cynthia Loiselle (deceased); daughter Amy and her son Kieran Kelly; and youngest son Erich (Lovisa). Edward also felt blessed with his 11 great-grandchildren.

 

His love of family was combined with his long career in the Norwood School Division as a teacher, vice-principal, and principal. A special part of this was meeting wife Elisabeth while teaching together at Archwood School. With her, he shared his many interests such as travel, movies, literature, card games, and enjoying Manitoba parks and beaches.

 

The family appreciates the dedicated care provided to Edward by the medical and support staff at St. Boniface Hospital 5A.

 

In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to Siloam Mission.

 

Edward's family kindly requests that all of his friends and relatives take a few minutes to honour his memory by sharing photos, memories, and stories, using the comment section on this page.
