There is a great passing! Ed made such wonderful contributions to all he met. Ed said many a mass for us Mathers and Duggans at Duggans’ cottage up on Lake Simcoe! Ed, Jack Duggan, and my dad John Mathers were a trio of friends from the time they were in elementary school and stayed a close trio for over seventy years! Ed was often at our place for dinner-always with a box of Laura Secord suckers! And always with music! Ed brought us all the latest hits back in the 60s and 70s, playing guitar magnificently and singing Both Sides Now, or If You Could Read My Mind, or The Gypsy River and Froggy Went a Courtin’ (for us kids.). He went to OCAD and painted some beautiful watercolours that were displayed at our house. He was a true Renaissance Man; a priest, a musician, an artist, a scholar. I will miss him and I thank him for the beautiful music and wonderful presence he brought to our family! Theresa Mathers
