Edward Stroszyn Obituary

It is with heavy hearts that we honor the passing of an ICON, "Mr Ed". He left us suddenly in his sleep. He had a passion and gift for Hot Rods. He devoted his life and time to repairing them for his friends. He was a man of many talents. He also loved the outdoors and spent many hours on the water with his fishing buddy, Brian. Ed had a huge heart that was always open, never closed. He loved his family and friends dearly. His sense of humour always left a smile on your face. Left to mourn him are his Sister, Addie, Children Eddie (wife Julie, Grandson, Ares), Nicole, (Husband, David), Jimmy, Stacey, (Grandchildren, Sara and Seth), Susie, (Husband, Grant, Grandchildren, Spencer, Sophie, and Saxon), Sherrie, (Husband, David, Grandchildren, Sterling and Dannika).

He will always be remembered and never forgotten.

A year has gone by and not a day goes by that I dont think of you still. I look through pictures often to bring me back to so many great times.. I miss you terribly dad. I moved back home after you passed. I'm very happy to have reconnected with you many years ago. I'm also very lucky to have had you walk me down the isle. I talk to you quite often and hope you hear me. Love you forever, never forgotten. Xoxo

Remembering my dad, my dad wasnt there when I was little, but we got back together in my early teens. When I moved back to BC in my early twenties, I was able to spend time with my father. We hung out, went fishing, he came over for lots of holidays here at my house, he always tried to come here when he could. Later on it was a little hard for him to come up. We spent time at his house then, having good times. He taught David, my husband, all about fixing cars and painting them. They worked for hours in his shop, side by side, teaching him what no one else could do. I miss those days, wish there would be more. But he is gone now, but we have great memories that can never be taken away. I remember the time we went fishing and saw killer whales, I was so excited I punched him in the chest, and said, look whales, he couldnt stop laughing at me, he thought I was so funny, seeing something for the first time, it was like tying my shoes for the first time, something he missed out on. A memory we share together, something I will always remember. He taught me the love of fishing, and being on the ocean. Everytime I go fishing, there will be a part of him with me. I am glad my other sisters were able to reconnect with our father and have more memories, I know seeing his grandchildren for the first time had filled him with so much love. He had many years of his children in his life and that made him so happy. He was such a caring and giving man, to his family and many of his close friends. There wasnt anything he wouldnt do for friends and family. He will be missed by all. He is still here, in my heart, and will be truly missed. That next big salmon I catch is for you DAD!

My father, from junior, your first born, the passage of time, the distances both close and far, the sounds of conversation, your voice, mine, many others in the places we were, in my minds echo, in my hearts memory, the smiles you gave and the warm embraces in your strong arms, the advice you always had and the patience to listen to your son tell his tales good and bad, the time spent together, fishing, playing with cars and motorcycles, painting and goofing around on the beach as fathers do with their sons and daughters, holding your grandson, Ares, talking to Baba, your Mom, with a little help of someone dialling the number as you forgot, the love you held nothing back for the life you shared, all this and so much more will always be cherished, treasured, thought of and said in my minds voice as I am sure in every other whose life you shared, we miss you dearly, we know you're at peace, in a better place, waiting for us to join you in our own time. May God watch over you, forgive you, love you for the honest gentle man you were to us all. I will always remember your voice telling me the week before "Happy Birthday Son" as you never missed it for me Dad. I love you, I think of you every day, I know you are close, watching over all of your children, friends and loved ones. Be at peace, for the rest you have worked so hard and finally earned. I will wait, each April 1st to remember, to hear your voice, wishing me another Happy Birthday Son.
