Edgar was sports oriented: was a great curler and belonged to the Beausejour Curling Club, was an avid lawn bowler in Moncton and Florida, golfer, enjoyed boating, biking, skiing and loved to travel. Edgar’s pastime – gardening! He received praises from every passer-by about his grooming gardening skills.
One of the highlights of his career was being inducted in the Moncton Wall of Fame with his CYHI/CYO Basketball Team in 2013. The members of this special team became a very important element in Edgar’s life and remain, to this day, supportive friends to each and every member.
Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to Cobb’s Funeral Home and Cremation Center, 330 Whitepine Road, Riverview (869-2007). A farewell service will be held in the Spring of 2021 for family and friends.
