Obituary of Ed Lomond

The family of Ed (Ned) sadly announce his passing after a hard-fought battle with cancer.  Ed passed away on Monday, October 4^th at St. Paul’s hospital in Saskatoon with the love of his life (Susan) at his side.  Ed was the third oldest of nine children of the late Mark and Mona (Monica Byrne) Lomond.

Ed was born in St. John’s, Nfld. and grew up in North Sydney, N.S.  He joined the Canadian Military in 1974 and served overseas in Cyprus, Germany, Russia and numerous postings throughout Canada.  During his career in the military he was assigned to Saskatchewan and it was during this time that he met and fell in love with Susan, the two married in 1994.  Ed retired from the military after twenty years of service and made his home in Saskatoon with Susan.

Ed enjoyed wood working, carpentry, travel, and long board and card games with friends and family.  But nothing touched his heart like his family and his ability to make us all smile.

He will be missed and forever remembered by his wife Susan, Daughter Theressa (Lee), Son Doug (Teresa) and his grandchildren Justin (Madison), Kayla (Jon), Zane, Brennan, Jayvelin and little Joe.  His brothers Mark, and Ken (Bev) Lomond, sisters Marie (Vince) Kirkpatrick, Margaret MacDonald, Elizabeth (Stuart – deceased) Vickers,  Rosemary (Walter) Drinovz, Patricia (Tim Riffel) Lomond and Angela (Ray) Bonia and the many nieces and nephews.
