Dear Tom, Judy and Vermue family: My deepest condolences to you in the loss of your beloved Ed. Our discussion at a Knight's meeting of Ed's challenges in his latter days, I remember. It is not easy, I am sure for Ed or family members and friends. But having that human contact, family support and prayers must have meant a lot for Ed. God bless Edward with eternal life in the joy of Christ's presence. Sincerely, John Bulsza and family.
Our deepest condolences to the to Aunt Cathy and the entire Vermue family. Uncle Edward will be missed by all - his life touched us all and he was a true gentleman. I loved our visits with Uncle Edward and the Vermues when I was a child, our chats about photography, his cool model railway, his work at Bell, and the antique wooden wall phones - all had a story. We were blessed to have had him in our lives. Jeff, Jen, Matt and Sophie Ham

We are unable to attend visitation and Ed's Funeral Mass as we are out of town babysitting a new grandson Aiden Hugh McCallum for our daughter Pauline & husband Rob in Waterloo. Please be assured we will remember Ed in our prayers. He was a faithful member of the Cathedral Choir and was a great loss to ourus when he had to leave. God Bless Catherine & family, Hugh & Anne Timmons
