Dear Aunt Jane and the entire Elston clan,
My sincere condolences on the passing of dear Gramps/ Ed. Us Walker grandkids have been so fortunate to have been raised beside all of you, feeling blended into the Elston family with many close ties. Grandpa Ed portrayed a unique love to all of us and will be cherished fondly. I will always remember his side squeezes and comical wit but most importantly, his kind heart and love for family- even us honorary ones!
May God hold you close in the days ahead.
With love and prayers,
Shannon and family xo

Sending my condolences to the Elston family. I was fortunate to meet Ed and his family at Seasons. Ed was always quick to give us feedback on our joke of the day at the front desk and I always enjoyed his wit and seeing his smile. He was a wonderful man and it was an honour to have known him. My thoughts are with you during this time.

A beautiful, funny, intelligent man with such a deep love and devotion to his family. My heart goes out to all of you as you mourn his passing and remember him fondly.
Hugs, Ginny

I will always treasure the fond memories of working at the hardware store where Ed taught me so much; Saturday morning breakfasts at Ritchies drive-in; riding in the back of the Volkswagon bus in lawn chairs when setting up CNE signs, and many family events. He was one of a kind.

Love JB

He was a character with a wicked sense of humour that will be missed by so many. May wonderful memories of wonderful days bring you all comfort.
You are in my thoughts and prayers!
Love and hugs,
Diane

Ed was the half brother of uncle Bernard Thomas and I so remember him coming to family events for my late husband Charlie Thomas of Brussels. I know that Ed has a large family and that he had a long life, but it certainly is the end of that era. I have often thought of the story of his mother, Emily Catherine, and how she came here with Bernard and when her husband, Bernard’s dad died, that she was a single mom until she met the late Bill Elston. They went on to raise a wonderful, big family and I have crossed paths with several of you at events and through my work. My condolences and best wishes to the family. Sorry for your loss.

Sending my condolences to the Elston family. I got to know Ed during my time at Seasons. He was a true gentleman with a great sense of humour. We enjoyed frequent conversations on every topic.
God Bless.

Dave, Jane, and all of the Easton Family, my most sincere condolence on the passing of your farther,, although I’ve never known him, the apple never falls far from home, knowing you folks and your passion of life, that’s where it comes from.

We send our condolences in the loss of your father. Erika and I have many great memories of Uncle Ed and his family. This wonderful man will be missed but rest assured he made so large a contribution in the lives of countless others (families, friends and everyone he connected with). He will never be forgotten. It was an honor to have shared a part of our lives with him. All our best wishes and prayers for all of you.

Gary and the rest of the Elston family, please accept our most heartfelt condolences with the passing of your dear father.

Very sorry to hear that your father passed away a very nice man never without a smile

Dear Elston Clan,
For many years, he stood the watch, so that our countrymen and we could sleep soundly, in safety, knowing that a sailor would stand the watch.
Today we are here to say the watch stands relieved; relieved by those he has led, guided and trained.
Able Seaman Ed Elston, you are relieved, ‘Bravo Zulu’, we have the watch.
‘Fair Winds and Following Seas, Sailor’.
Lots of love, Dan, Robyn, Sammi and the entire Brown Clan

My condolences on the loss of a wonderful gentleman. Ed was such a kind and gentle person. Always had a smile and showed a genuine interest in who he was talking too. A man true to heart.

Sorry to hear about Ed’s death. He has been a friend to us since the 1960’s when Prince Andrew school brought us together. I feel a great connection to the Elstons, the Hudsons and the Sanborns. Sadly, a family commitment prevents us from attending visitation and funeral.
Kindest Regards; Wallace and Rhonda McLay

Dear Jane and family

What a beautiful tribute to your father. You have many great memories and those will get you through this difficult time. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Jonni-Lyn VanDeursen

Sincere condolences to all the Elston Family in the passing of your father. Ed has left many stories and memories for his children, grandchildren, friends and neighbors .He will be missed by all who knew him.

Eddie was a high school friend of mine and my husband Jack’s. What a fun loving person! One day he and Jack decided to skip the next class, and jump out the ground floor window to go downtown to play games of pool! My condolences to you as I share my happy memory of Eddie.

Ed was always giggling and smiling. He always had a joke to crack and never failed to make me laugh. I am happy that I was lucky enough to meet him and will miss seeing him at Seasons. Thoughts are with his family. RIP Popeye.

The Elston family…
I remember Edwin from my banking days in Hyde Park when he ran the local hardware store…
He always had a story of some sort to tell when he came to do his banking, and he usually brought laughter to all when he was present.
A great man who who had a great life and leaves behind many wonderful memories and success stories that his family and extended family can be proud of.
May he rest in peace now with his loved ones.
Cherish your memories and stay strong, while surrounding yourselves with love from both family and friends.

My deepest condolences to the Elston family on the passing of your Dad. I remember his quick wit and humour when visiting with Paul. He could always make you laugh.

John – thinking of you today and so sorry for your loss.

To all of Ed’s family, We send our sincere sympathy to everyone. All the pictures are a joy to watch – and to decide who is who in your family! Wonderful memories will sustain each of you in the times ahead.

Chris and Alison Benoit

So very sorry to hear of Ed’s passing. I remember visits with Aunt Jean and my cousins to Ed and Margaret’s and the laughter and quick wit that was always there. Hugs to you all ????

Janet and I have fond memories of Ed. He was a great guy who will be missed by all his family. Sorry we couldn’t attend the celebration of his life to offer our condolences and stories in person.

I am so sorry in so many ways regarding Ed’s passing. First and foremost I am sorry that my job had me in Thunder Bay during the visitation and funeral. I would rather have been there with the Elston family and able to share the sorrow of loss and yet the joy of a life well lived. Raised in that infamous line of 6 houses on Highbury Avenue where 20 kids seemed to share everything including parents this loss of Ed is significant, I am sorry that it truly feels like the end of an era. We were truly blessed to have grown up where we did, when we did and with whom we did.
If care and wit were currency; Ed spread billions of dollars in his life. Paul, Gary, Nancy, David, Jane and John your Dad has left this earth but has remained in many hearts.
