SHEPHARD, Edmund "Ed" Henry - April 5, 1929 – May 14, 2022
It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce that Edmund "Ed" Henry Shephard passed away on May 14, 2022, at the age of 93.
A last kiss and wave goodbye to his beloved wife, Carole Ellen Shephard.
Loving dad of Katherine (Kyle) Hoag, Heather (Dave) Fountain and Penny (Ian) Wilson; cherished grandchildren, Alex Hoag, Michael Hoag (Brook-lynn Byrne), Kevin Hoag, Mandy (Nicholas) Couper, Daniel Fountain, Hunter Wilson (Nicky Connell), and Grace Wilson (Olivia McComb).
He was a happy-go-ucky person with a huge loving soul. He was always full of energy, always willing and available to help wherever he could.
Known for his love of skiing, nature, gardening, adventure and travel. He had a booming voice and infectious laugh that always filled a room and will forever be fondly remembered by all. As he would say, "Thanks, it has been a great ride."
The family would like to thank the many front line emergency personnel and staff at the Peterborough Regional Hospital.
A Remembrance of Ed will be taking place on Sunday, July 17, 2022, from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. at Comstock-Kaye Life Celebration Centre, 356 Rubidge St., Peterborough. The family will request their guests wear masks.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity of your choice. In his memory, he would like everyone to give thought to becoming an organ and blood donor.
