Hello June and family,
We are so very saddened for your loss. He will be dearly missed. Our family has fond memories of him, he was a great conversationalist and always is just a happy mood. Our 3 kids have fond memories of chatting and saying Hello to Ed on warm sunny summer days and seeing him enjoy his ice cream on the front porch. He will be fondly remembered and dearly missed.
Lots of Love to you all,
Ann,Mark, Izak, Cale,Riel

Mr. Turner and, later as I grew up, Ed, was a wonderful, generous and kind-hearted neighbour and friend. I am grateful and honored to have had the chance to grow up as his next-door neighbour from when our family moved to Boxhill Drive in 1980 to1994 when I moved to the United States. June and Ed were always there for me and my two younger sisters as sweet touchstones of hospitality and neighbourly help throughout our late childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Ed's decency, friendship and goodwill as my childhood neighbour is an impression I am able to recall instantly almost 25 years after leaving Boxhill Drive. His warmth and love for life will leave its mark on me forever.
