He will also be missed by many nieces, nephews, relatives and friends and of course their beloved cats, Benny and Jovi. A long standing member of the Knights of Columbus #1452 and #1410 and holding 4th Degree, on behalf of Sir Knight Edward Lane, we would like to extend our thanks. Ed devoted much time to the causes of the Knights and thoroughly enjoyed his participation there. A sincere thank you to his many friends at Plumbhouse & CPRI, you meant a lot to him. For all the doctors and staff at the London Regional Cancer Clinic, the home visits from VON, CCAC and ProResp, thank you for the continued support through this journey in his life. Cremation has taken place and a private Celebration of Life will be held at a later date as per Ed's wishes. In lieu of flowers a donation to the Lung Cancer Association or Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated.
