Edward Mason Obituary
Edward Wallace Mason passed away peacefully on August 28, 2017 at the Rosefield Care Centre in Innisfail with his daughters Sharon and Jamie and his son Raymond by his side.
Ed was born to Anthony and Martha Mason in Edmonton, AB on June 3, 1937, the youngest of five children. During his lifetime, Ed had several vocations. He was an electrician by trade but early in his career decided to move to Pritchard, BC to take up ranching with his dad. He then had a short stint as a realtor and subsequently owned and operated two businesses in an old building in Chase, BC that he renovated and turned into a mini-mall. Years later, he ran a successful convenience store in Kamloops, BC where, along with his duties in the store, he acted as postmaster. In 1994, the store was sold and Ed re-located to Calgary, AB where he ran a video store. Five years later, he retired and moved into his little log house in the country, just outside of Sundre, AB. Ed enjoyed life in the country for 16 years. He recently moved into the town of Sundre. Ed loved his family and enjoyed nothing more than spending time with them. He also loved the outdoors and spent many happy times exploring in the motorhome. Fishing, camping, gardening and attracting birds and deer were his favourite pastimes. He also loved every dog he ever met and always had a four-footed much-cherished best friend by his side. Ed is survived by his longtime partner-in-life Lorraine, his three children Sharon of Sidney, BC and Jamie and Raymond of Calgary, AB and five grandchildren Michael, Devon, Robin, Brayden and Madison. He will also be fondly remembered by his children's mother Bernice Garrett and his extended family Linda, Ken, Leigh, Donna and their children. He is survived by his eldest sister Margaret of La Crescenta, California and predeceased by his brothers Dave and Gordon and his sister Doreen. Ed was known for his charming disposition, his infectious smile and his ever-present sense of humour. He will always be remembered with unending love and precious memories.
He will be missed, always.
There will be no service, as was Ed's wish.
