He is survived by his sister Darlene (Brian) Johnston, brother Mark, as well as several nieces and nephews.

Fur-babies were forever a part of the Saltzman home, Charlie and Pippa will miss Ed dearly, as well as his “grand fur-babies.”

Through his work years, Ed enjoyed bartending at the Carleton York Regimental Club, driving for Expert Delivery, and working in the Lumber Yard at DMJ transport.

Ed exuded fun, embodied the Christmas Spirit each December without fail, and faced the adversities of an industrial accident in stride (prosthesis leg and all).  He was a die-hard fan of the Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Blue Jays.
