Will be sadly missed by “Jack” (Duane Horeck) and extended family in Toronto and Poland. Ed was brought up in the Donovan and was very proud of his Polish Heritage. He played soccer for the Polish White Eagles. He travelled to Edmonton for work and later started at Denison Mines in Elliot Lake as a mechanic, then changing over to the electrical field becoming a Master Electrician. After the mines closed he worked at several companies in Sudbury. His final job until falling ill was with SCR Mining and Tunneling in Red Lake, Ontario which he loved working for and enjoyed the friendships he made along the way.
