I was the youngest cousin of the Posein’s and Eddy decided to call me Kari. Eddy you always treated me so special and protected me when the boys would try to tease me to much. Even though we did not visit much, I will miss the hello you would give me through my mom when you called her. I will never forget the last visit we had, and how you still called me Kari. Your smile and gentle way will be missed by all who loved you.
Rest in Peace my dear Cousin.

Always looked forward to seeing Ed at the annual fishing trip , playing cribbage and laughing hard. Prayers go out to the family.
Ed was a good friend and his sense of humor will be missed. I always enjoyed our visits and our annual fishing trip adventures. A joke shared amongst Ed and some fellow annual fishing buddies was that some fish feel much heavier than they actually look! Our thoughts and prayers go out to Marilyn and the family. Ed will be missed.

We were sad to hear the passing of Ed. We met him through our brother in law, Les. We had the pleasure of taking him out on Great Bear Lake to go fishing. And all he did was fish. I will never forget when fall came, and a we had a parcel from Milo. It was two tan winter jackets from him and his fishing buddies.
Our thoughts are with his Les and his family.
