On April 29, 1965 they moved to the family farm. Farming was Ed’s passion. He especially took great pride in his cattle operation. Every winter Ed was the Mortlach Rink caretaker. He coached the local boys hockey teams and this is where he earned the name “Coach Carter”. Ed retired in 2009 to Moose Jaw. He was active in the church choir and a member of the Knights of Columbus. He loved to walk & especially enjoyed visiting with the people he encountered on his way. Ed was proud of his grandchildren & great-grandchildren. He had a sense of humor & loved to laugh. September 2019, Ed & Myrna moved to Chateau St. Michael’s where he lived until his passing. A Private Graveside Service will be held at the Mortlach Cemetery at a later date.
