Obituary for Edwin David Sanford

Edwin David Sanford
Ed’s family is deeply saddened to announce his passing on July 16, 2017, after a long and courageous battle with brain cancer and the ensuing medical issues. He is survived by his two children, Charlie (Kalli Lahtinen) and Laura (Chris Hetherington), and their mother, Dianne McArthur. His children were the pride and joy of his life and his love for them knew no bounds. He is also survived by his loving partner and best friend, Sharon McKeen, who provided much strength and support throughout their years together. He also leaves two incredible grandchildren, Sawyer and Anna, who meant the world to him. Special thanks to his always caring sister-in-law, Carole Sanford, and his cousin, Linda Parolin, with whom he shared a very special bond. Ed now joins his departed siblings, Mary Lou and Gord. In addition, he leaves several nieces and nephews. Ed had a long and distinguished career in the Canadian Armed Forces, beginning as a cadet at the Royal Military College and ending as Lieutenant Colonel, Director of Security, with DND. He was a kind and gentle man, with a great sense of humor and joie de vivre. He was an avid outdoorsman and nothing gave him greater pleasure than landing a giant Muskie. Ed will be missed by his family and a large circle of friends. A celebration of Ed’s life will be held at the Central Chapel of Hulse, Playfair and McGarry, 315 McLeod Street (at O’Connor), Ottawa on Saturday, September 9, 2017 at 2:00pm, followed by a reception from 3:00 - 5:00 p.m. The family would like to extend a special thank you to the doctors and staff at the Montfort Hospital, who were so kind and caring during Ed’s final days.
