He was predeceased by his parents Edward and Marion, as well as his brother Mike.

Ed began practicing law in 1977, and made partner at Pedersen Norman in 1981 where he continued to work until retirement in 2005. During this time he had so many passions such as spending time with family, travelling, cooking, the outdoors, the Roughriders, volunteering, home improvements, gardening and being involved in Regina’s Ukrainian community specifically with the Ukrainian National Federation Hall.
