Edward John Meredith Huycke, BA, LLB, QC
(October 30, 1926 – November 2, 2016)
Three days after celebrating his 90th birthday with his family, Ed died peacefully after a long battle with Alzheimer’s. Ed is survived by his one true love and wife of 64 years, Margie. Dearly loved father of Janet (Jeff), Douglas (deceased), and Melissa (Brian). Loving grandfather to Doug (Sarah), Katie, Whitney, Breigh, and Ali. Proud great-grandfather to Reid. Brother of Fred (Kit), Graeme (deceased) (Kate), Rose (Boyd) and Susan.
Ed was born in Toronto, attending UTS, Trinity College School in Port Hope, the University of Toronto, and Osgoode Hall. He spent his entire legal career at Osler, Hoskin and Harcourt. Ed was a true athlete, enjoying participation in all sports. He spent his summers in Temagami and winters skiing at Osler Bluff. He loved to travel with Margie, taking trips with their friends and family all over the world, including to every Canadian province and the Canadian Arctic.
We would like to extend our gratitude to the staff at Kensington Gardens 1North, who were very loving and caring to Ed in his final 3 ½ years. Very special thanks to Bei Bei and Jenny, for treating him like family and giving their full hearts to his care.
