Eddie George Ing

When I was in grade 6 my mom was diagnosed with cancer. Even though I never had him as a teacher, Eddie and a group of other staff went over to our house and dropped off food. He was such a kind person who will always be missed.

Always on my mind.

I wish I could have met him one last time in person now that I’m older. I’d like to say I’m very thankful for all of his wise words and teachings. He changed my life for the better. And always teaching me to never give up. He’s always had a way of making you feel like you mattered. To never give up. Look forward and try harder. He’d show love and compassion to everyone. Mr. Ing will forever be remembered in my heart. And I will never forget his big smile. I grew up remembering his teachings...

I just saw such a tender gesture from Mr Ing, when my daughter was giving the 6th grade valedictory speech, in 2011. She's short. Or she was then. And he reached out, gently, to tip the mic towards her mouth, so she could be heard. It's such a good memory.

I bless his memory, and send courage to those who loved him.

I may be late here... But it doesn't matter how much time has passed, we will always remember him as the great Teacher, Family member, Friend he was to all of us. We will always remember, Eddie George Ing.

I am sad to hear about his passing so late. Mr Eddie Ing was one of the teachers I ever had. He taught me and many students many life lessons and he will forever be remembered. Thank you Mr Ing.

Sending my condolences in this very sad time. Mr Eddie Ing was the best teacher and mentor I have ever met. He is missed immensely.

Dear Debbie, Eddie Sr., Jason, Jill and Families:
I am so sorry to know that Eddie is gone.
I remember him as always laughing when he was with Jen and the Eastview gang. You are so blessed to have had him in your lives for these past years and must be so proud of his many accomplishments. Stay strong.

I am so extremely sorry for your loss. I think of Eddie and the many laughs we shared at UofT every time I drive through Barrie.
