He held dear the many fishing adventures he embarked on with his son. These cherished outings were a special part of their relationship, providing lasting memories of time spent together on the water, sharing stories, laughter, and a love of the outdoors.

In his early years, Edward was active in the Hinton community through his involvement with Hinton Minor Sports, the Hinton Golf Club, and the Hinton Hawks. He was always working quietly behind the scenes, making sure that everything ran smoothly and whatever needed to be done.

Edward is lovingly remembered by his daughter, Debra Benbow and her husband Mel, as well as his granddaughters, Ashley Heitland and her husband Kevin, and Gillian Bennison and her husband Douglas.
