FINDLAY
June 5, 1956 ~ February 10, 2013
Edward "Ed" John Findlay of Granum, Alberta was unexpectedly taken from us on Sunday, February 10, 2013 at the age of 56 years.
Ed was born in Vancouver, B.C. on June 5, 1956, and grew up in the beautiful interior of B.C. where he enjoyed many outdoor activities; as well as cross-country running, playing rugby, and hockey. He graduated in 1974 from the Peter Skene Ogden Senior Secondary School in 100 Mile House, B.C. Ed began his career in the oil and gas industry in the mid-1970s, and continued until his passing. In his spare time, he enjoyed gardening, fishing, bird watching, and camping.
Ed will forever be lovingly remembered by his four boys: Shaun, Matthew, Bryan, and Mark; his mother, Virginia "Ginnie" Searle of Hudson's Hope, B.C.; his brother, Bob of B.C.; and his three sisters, Lynn Findlay also of Hudson's Hope, B.C.; Maggie Findlay (Marvin Kraeleman) of Sylvan Lake; and Sue (Gerry) Grubjesic of Red Deer; in addition to the mother of his children, Simone Empson of Eckville; numerous nieces and nephews; and a host of friends.
"The Findlay Family wishes to express their heartfelt gratitude for your many kindnesses."
