Always Loved, Forever Missed, Never Forgotten
Edgar “Clifford” Grasdahl, peacefully passed away at Jessica’s House on Christmas morning, December 25th, 2022, at the age of 95. Cherished father of Ronald of Lucan, and Wendy and Richard Jennison, Grand Bend. Loving grampa to Alisha and Chris, Erin, JoDee and Chuck. Loved by his “little angels” as he like to call them, Claire and Emily, Cameron and Reid, and Blake.
Predeceased by his late wife Mary Katherine “Kathy” (2019) and Lauretta “Lori” (1998), and his son Terry (2022).
He embraced as his own, Kathy’s family, Kathy and Mark Magee, Mary Anne (2021) and Joe Swift, Gerry and Monique Prendergast. Loved by their families, Jacky (Ian), and Grace, Christie and Kai, Janine, Justin and Sophia, Lianne, Michelle and Marc-Antoine; Heather (2004), Laura, Kelly, Jamie, David and Patrick; Shawn (2009). We are forever grateful for their continued love and support.
Survived by brother Stan Sandstrom, sisters Irene and Angeline. Predeceased by his parents Edwin and Katherine, sister Corinne and infant sister Irene, brothers Edwin and Kenneth. Remembered by his many nieces and nephews and their families.
Cliff was best known amongst his family and friends as a handyman who tackled any project – big or small. A lover of classic country music, a good joke and string trick, card games and shuffleboard, being on the dance floor, and teaching those around him the game of Sequence. If you were lucky, you were a proud recipient of his custom game board and popcorn sifter. Cliff built a successful career with a grade three education, working in trucking, a gas station operation, commercial construction, before starting a local home building business. He was a craftsman by trade who built a reputation on a honest days’s work and quality craftsmanship.
Visitation will be held at the T. Harry Hoffman & Sons Funeral Home, Dashwood, on Friday, December 30th, 2022, from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. where the funeral service will be held at 11:00 am. Interment Exeter Cemetery.

I met Cliff when he was a member of the Oddfellow’s Lodge in Exeter. It turned out we had a birthday on the same day, he was a carpenter as I was, he was from Saskatchewan just like I was and he had been born and raised in a town just a few miles from where I was born and raised. We hit it off wonderfully. He was a very personable man who made anyone feel welcome and valued. I enjoyed his company and we had some good visits with him and Kathy. We missed him after he moved from Grand Bend. Thinking of each of you. God Bless.
