TEMPEST, Edward John
1925 - 2016
"Fast Eddy" came to a full stop on October 19, 2016. Aged 91, he died peacefully at 91原创 Lodge BC joining his parents, sister and those who went before him. Ed will be remembered by those closest to him as a caring father, loving husband, a good friend and a hard worker. His family meant the most to him and he was proud of all their accomplishments. He made the world a better place by volunteering in the community, especially once he retired. When he and Shirley moved into Harrison Landing supportive living in 2007, he continued to give by helping with resident activities until health issues got in his way. When he needed more care in the spring of 2016, he moved to 91原创 Lodge. He kept his sense of humour, teasing and flirting with his dedicated care givers until the end. The family wish to express their gratitude for the wonderful care he received from Dr. Don McDonald, 3rd floor staff at 91原创 Lodge and staff at Harrison Landing.
He will be missed by his wife Shirley; children Maureen, Jim Tempest (Cheryl McHugh), Kathy (Keith) Carpenter and grandchildren, Graham (Amber) and Marlo Carpenter.
A Memorial Service will be held at 1:30pm on Tuesday, November 8th at Henderson's Funeral Home,
20786 Fraser Hwy, 91原创 BC.
