As always, you are in our thoughts as you go through this difficult time. We have shared so many wonderful memories of the times spent with you and Ed. Our hearts go out to you, Michael, Robert, Mark and Rosette. With love and condolences, Mary & Ken Dorush

So sorry I was unable to attend the mass and celebration for Ed . Denise and I were fortunate to know and cherish our friendship with Ed for over 50 years. I have vivid memories of our fishing trips to the ZEC zones ( always a smile on his face ... especially if he caught the big one). Our deepest condolences to you and your family .

Mes plus sincères condoléances à toute la famille, Yvette sont épouse, et les enfants, Michael, Robert, Mark et Rosette. Ed fut un excellent collègue de travail. Que de bons souvenirs. Que mes pensées vous accompagnent.

Dear Yvette- so sorry to hear this sad news. We will miss that wonderful smile at the breakfast gatherimgs.

At times like this there's not a lot that words can do to help ease your pain and sense of loss. Look back at the memories of Ed and smile and remember a life well lived and loved. Thanks for the memories Eddy. Deepest condolences Mark, Yvette and family. JC

My heart and condolences goes out to each of you. Your husband and your father was a huge part of my career, and Ed Collins will never be forgotten for how he shared his life experiences to allow another to mold their life experiences.

The members of the Canadian Forces Supplementary Radio (SUPRAD) System Oldtimers' Association were deeply saddened by the news of Ed's passing. He was a Life Member of our Association and a very good friend to many of us. We will forever remember all of the enjoyable times that were shared throughout our military careers. As members of your extended military family, please know that you will be in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. God Bless. 'Friends Forever' Ray Lebeau

WE ARE SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT ED HE WAS SUCH A NICE MAN OUR THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOU AND THE FAMILY

Sending you our deepest sympathy in this very difficult time. Thinking of you. RIP Mr Ed.

Toutes mes sympathies Mark. En mon nom et de la part de toute l'équipe de Gazifère. Depuis mes 32 années chez Gazifère, j'ai eu l'occasion de connaître ton papa. Je suis désolée pour cette perte. Je ne pourrai pas assister au funérailles. Bon courage.

Dear Yvette and the kids, I was so sad to learn of Ed's passing. Dad sat at my kitchen table last night and told me a few fun stories about Ed from their basic training in 1956 and from their tours in Alert. I could just picture him playing practical jokes on unsuspecting people. You've both been such good friends to Mum and Dad over the years, and I know that Ed will be sorely missed. I am remembering his smile, his teasing and his generosity. I'll be thinking of you all in the weeks to come.

Dear Yvette and Family: We were shocked to see the notice of Ed's death and Elizabeth ( Betty) want to wish you and the family our sympathy . Ed was always there to help anyone who needed it and will be missed from all his naval ship mates, We will miss you Ed, hope to meet you in the big radio room in the sky.

You are in our hearts and prayers at this difficult time. We will always remember Ed for his fun disposition and always happy nature. Jim and Barb Maheux

We are so very sorry for your loss. Ed was such an amiable fellow, we always enjoyed your visits. I smiled each time I heard Granny Cox telling us stories of how Ed would come into her house and hunt for her home made cookies. He even found them when she hid them in the furnace air vents! Always a character, always with a smile on his face. We are thinking of you and your ffamily at this sad time. Keep your memories in your heart and speak of him often.

Je vous offre toutes mes condoléances. Je vous porte dans mes pensées et dans mes prières. Même si les années ont passé, la voix profonde et le rire de votre père, ainsi que son accueil sont encore présents au fond de moi .Gros câlins.

God bless you at this very difficult time! I worked with Ed through the '80's at Ottawa Gas. That was my pleasure and benefit. I could always rely on Ed's insight and sense of fair play. His consistent sense of humour always helped especially when the "going got tough". Good memories.

My sincere condolences to you. I have fond memories of Edward at Consumer's Gas during the times I was there training, and one time at the home in Buckingham. My thoughts are with you all, Dave Cobden

J’ai connu Ed en tant que superviseur chez Consumers gas. je suis vraiment attristé d’apprendre son décès. Mes plus sincères condoléances à toute la famille. Guy!

Doug and I are very sorry to hear of Ed 's passing. We have had great times and wonderful memories of fun and laughs. Our last memory of Ed is , of our dinner at the Glen, where he looked great. Sincerely Love Doug and Carole

Mes plus sincères sympathies.....mes pensées vous accompagnent. Gros câlin xx
