Edward Gerrard Vella
August 12, 1935 – October 15, 2024
We are sad to announce the passing of Edward Gerrard Vella. Ed passed quietly surrounded by his loving family.
Ed leaves behind his wife of 65 years, Shirley, his children: Susan (Elizabeth), Sandy (Jeff), and Ted (Christie), and his grandchildren: Megan, Derek, David, Ryan and Matthew.
Ed loved many things: time at the cottage with family, watching hockey and all sports, fishing for Muskie, bowling, and food of any kind (especially pastizzi), but he loved his family the most. He devoted his love, energy and efforts always towards his family.
Ed was a twin (Helen), in a family of two sets of twins (Dorothy, predeceased by Carole), and the eldest (Rose). His parents, Joseph and Mary, came from Malta with their respective parents and forged a new life in Canada. Their dreams were fulfilled by Ed and his siblings, and the many grandchildren.
Ed worked hard all of his life, retiring at age 74. He gave many years volunteering at the local Weston hockey arena (Weston Lions Club).
The family is grateful for the care and compassion shown to Ed by the health care team at Humber River Hospital.
In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to Jumpstart.
