He spent a lot of time going with them to activities, primarily hockey. But he also enjoyed going out fishing, walking, car rides, camping, as well as socializing with family and friends. Edward loved to spend time with his grandchildren, and had a blast laughing and making memories with each of them. He always taught the valuable lesson of how important family was and to take the time to make meaningful, long-lasting memories together.
