I was fortunate to have had the pleasure of playing in some of the same amateur orchestras with Ed. He was a consummate musician, excellent concert-master and a most considerate human being. I particularly remember the time when I forgot my tuxedo jacket for a concert and we rushed back to his house for one of his spares, which fortunately was a good fit! He will be missed by all who knew him. Sorry this is late, but we have been out of town. Sincere condolences to Eileen and the Hollyer family.

My sincere condolences to Eileen & the family. Ed was the beloved Concert Master of the Kanata Symphony while I was Conductor in the 1980s. Ed brought, among his other talents, professionalism and a wonderful sense of humour. It was rare to get through a rehearsal without a few glorious guffahs at Ed's instigation. Ed loved having fun & was fun to be around. The enthusiasm of his fiddle playing at parties was legendary. It was a privilege to have been able to share in the musical...

Dear Eileen, children and grandchildren,
We offer you our warmest condolences. Ed was a great friend to us and an excellent Concertmaster of Divertimento Orchestra. His gentle admonition to tidy the furniture after each rehearsal at Trinity Anglican Church stays with us: "Ladies and gentlemen, beds and chairs, beds and chairs."
Our daughter, Julia St. Louis (née Snelson) also wishes you to know of her sympathy.
