Ed, (Uncle Ed) was an essential part of our family gathering at Christmas, always greeting Gilda with a provocative ‘hello Curly!” (not a curl in sight) and a jovial ‘Gooday!’ to the rest of us. His Xmas cards were always delivered by hand to show that he thought of us. We will miss him. RIP Ed
January 23, 2026An old school gentle man, and a true gentleman. You will be much missed by the whole Soon family.
January 23, 2026A great man and I am proud to know him.R.I.P
January 24, 2026A lovely uncle and great uncle. Will be very missed. Never missed a birthday or Christmas. Always up for a chat and always thinking of us.
January 24, 2026Visited with Cousin Ed six years ago when we were back in Australia. Ed very graciously took us on a mini tour of Bairnsdale, and we saw all the places our families used to visit so many years ago …. so glad that we had the opportunity to visit with him then.
January 26, 2026Edmund was a true gentleman — always sweet, polite, and sincerely grateful. He found joy in people and in simple moments, never wanting for much and only accepting help when he truly felt it was needed. It was an absolute pleasure and privilege to support him with his Home Care Package, and to know him during that time. He will be remembered for his gentle nature, quiet strength, and the warmth he brought to those around him.
January 27, 2026Always friendly, postive and caring and interested in what you were doing. A great bloke and cousin sadly missed.
January 27, 2026There will always be a spot at the Xmas table fo you. And a half a pavlova.
Stephen and Debbie
