December 30, 1936 - September 5, 2011

Ed was born in Coderre, Saskatchewan, one of 11 children to Oliver and Obeline Boisclair. The family moved to B.C. in 1956 where they settled in Oliver. In 1966, he moved to the Kamloops area, and for the last 20 years has resided in Nakusp.

He is survived by his loving wife Maureen, seven children Colette (Brady) Conroy, Monette (Tom) Powell, Stacie Boisclair, Duane (Janine) Boisclair, Kevin (Maxine) Boisclair, Melissa (Doug) Tippett and Darren (Nicole) Boisclair: and four step-children Mitch (Dana) Nystrom, Tom (Linda) Nystrom, Randy Nystrom and Wendy (Paul) Miharija and by 26 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren.

Ed was very accomplished in his career in the bush where he was a Master Faller.

Ed was a hunter (forever chasing that big elk), a fisherman, and he loved being in the bush. He was proudest of his family and so enjoyed getting together for big reunions.

Dad loved playing his guitar and singing Country and Western songs with family and friends.

Memorial Services for Ed will be held on Sunday, September 11, 2011 at 1:00 p.m. at the Nakusp Seniors Centre, 210 8th Avenue, N.W., Nakusp, B.C. (250) 265-4646.
