Edgar worked for many years as a Machinest for a prominet printing company. He retired at the age of 64 and it wasn't much later he packed up the van and headed straight to Florida Edgar had a lot to say. His daily phrase to his Grandson's were "What time is the game on tonight ?" Edgar spent many evenings cheering on the Blue Jays, Golden State Warriors and Kansas City Chefs. He loved attending parties with his family and friends. Or just sitting on the front porch saying "hello" to all that walked by. Edgar will be remembered for so many things, mostly for his green thumb. He often had the best lawn on the street and he was proud of his hard work.
He touched our lives with his laughter and warm smile. Edgar will be dearly missed by all his family, life long friends and all that knew him.
