It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Edward Saikaly (Eddie) at the age of 77 on July 16th at home with his loving family with him. His greatest wish was that he return home and he did.
Ed battled health issues for many years but he never lost his passion for life. He loved his family completely. He loved cooking, woodworking, travel, gardening, golf. Nothing held him back.
Ed is survived by his beloved wife of 57 years, Barbara (nee Fitzgerald); his son Craig Edward, his daughter-in-law Jennifer Irwin, his brothers Edmond and Anthony (Tony) and his sister Leila Asfour, sisters-in-law Marie and Debbie, brother-in-law Alfred Asfour and a great many loving nieces and nephews.
In lieu of flowers the family asks that you make a donation to the Ottawa Heart Institute in his name.
Services will be held at Divine Infant Church, 6658 Bilberry Crescent in Orleans August 7th at 11:30 with a luncheon following.
