Jennifer lives in Kelowna and is married and has 2 sons. So sorry to hear of Ed's passing. Ed and Greg were good friends at Woolworth. Please accept my deepest my deepest sympathy. Edwina Robins

Linda, John, Charlene and Corrine, it is with sadness to hear of the passing of Ed. We got to know you when Ed was still running the bakery in the Cooper's mall in Rutland and went on to

operate Welkmart in downtown Kelowna. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Sincerely, Ron & Doreen S.
