So sorry to hear of the passing of Ed. We always had lovely chats about our gardens at SSM. Will miss seeing his smiling face and friendly hellos.

We are so sorry to hear of Ed's passing. Bill and I have Ed and Clayton to thank for finishing our house for us when the original contractor walked off the job and left us in the lurch back in 1983. AND the house is still standing and doesn't leak! They did a great job. Sincere condolences to all the family🙏

Marion , my sincere condolences to you and your family on the passing of Ed. I didn't know him but any time he was in the yard working he always looked up with a smile and a wave. I think your poem probably captured his character. May he rest in peace and his memory be a blessing Joyce Beaton

My sincere thoughts to Ed's family. I worked with Eddie years ago with Sigma Construction. I have many fond memories of him, his sense of humor and his stories.

Sending deepest sympathy to Marion and all of Ed's family and friends. Maurice and Nateleen Zinck

Oh, my. A world without Ed is not what I wanted to read about just now. I was thinking about him recently and recalling the time he worked on a house across the street from mine in Downtown Halifax. It was then that he met my husband, Peter Greer. Shortly after becoming good friends, Ed became one of Peter's closest friends at Local 83. He always had a smile. He always asked about our children. He was the first to volunteer for Union social events. Flipping burgers at picnics, and ripping up the floor at dances. He was there when you least expected him to be there. A great fellow who will be missed - Marion, be gentle with yourself as you move through this loss. You know where I am.

Our condolences to you and the family Marion. Always remembered as 'Uncle Ed' (since making and delivering a sandbox for our kids within weeks of us moving in) he was a wonderful neighbour and friend, always so kind and helpful, and a funny story to tell. RIP dear Ed. Fiona, Ed, Rachel & Lockie.

Our condolences to the family and we will offer a prayer for you all Alex and Anne Gagnon

So sorry to hear the sad news Marion. Love and condolences. Shirley Gray

Eddie was such a friendly man. I enjoyed running into him and having great conversations. His eggroll recipe, shared by my brother-in-law Rick, continues to be a family favorite. My daughter got to know him through summer work at Granite Springs. My deep condolences to all of the Gannon family. Rest In Peace Eddie

Hi folks. Sorry to hear of Ed's passing. Condolences to the whole family. He was a very friendly, outgoing guy. Always lots of smiles, laughs, and conversation when ever we met him. Philip and Elizabeth Finck.

Dear Marian & Ed's family, Sandra & Colman are sending our sincere condolences to each & everyone of you on your great loss. We both share our great memory of being at your house to a great dinner Ed cooked for us many years ago on one of our visits to NS. He was such a great cook & very entertaining. RIP Ed you will be missed.

Marion and family, My condolence to everyone. I had the privilege of working with Ed at Granite Springs. There was not a day that we didn't share a good laugh or many. Now if you knew Ed, sometimes the same story a few times. Many great memories. Until we meet again my friend. Your buddy. Johnny Gillis

Sending our condolences to Marion and all Eddie's loved ones. We knew Eddie from our social activities at the Mess and always enjoyed his stories and talking about family. Tony especially enjoyed the fact that they both thought there was nothing better than tomato bread (Pan con Tomate) and both thought it was a meal by itself. Thinking about all the family at this difficult time.

Sending condolences to Marion and all Ed's family. He always met us with a cherry smile, lots of stories and laughs. Rest in Peace Ed.

My Dad was a wonderful hard working man who always had a big smile on his face I say dad's smile could make anyone down feel good again just by him smiling at them I'll think of his smile and all the fun times I had with him growing up ❤️

My condolences to Jane and your family. I have very fond memories of Ed as I grew up being very close friends with Caroline. He was an amazing dad & had a wonderful sense of humour...just don't ask him to pass the buns if you didn't want to find his dentures sandwiched between. 🤣❤
