He retired in 2001 and enjoyed life to the fullest for those 15 years of retirement. He was an avid reader and music lover. After their marriage in 2010, Ed and Penny traveled to many countries and enjoyed local theatre, music and dining.It goes without saying that his favorite moments were when he was surrounded by his family and friends.
Ed was predeceased by his father, Hector Euclid Boulay in 1969 and his mother, Marie Therese (Terry) St-Hilaire in 2005.

Hello to family of Ed who I never met and to those that I knew. I only became aware of Ed’s passing this morning and wanted to express my feelings to all of you of the respect and regard that I had for Ed. George and Ed and my brother, Rob and I had few but fun experiences together when we were young children when our families had time to share together. It always seemed to me like it was the little brothers (George and I) versus the big brothers when we were together…typical sibling squabbles, teasing and laughter. Sadly, we did not have many crossing of paths as we were older, a few times with George and family, but as is typical with families spread out and busy lives, was mainly thoughts and memories of family. I’m sorry my family and I cannot attend today, but I did not want this day to go by without saying these few words. I realize the years we share here on earth are often too few, but I do take comfort in knowing that Ed is on to a wonderful afterlife and hope you will experience the same comfort. God Bless you all in the memories that will carry Ed on in your thoughts until we meet him again.
