Eph was a very quiet loving man who loved his wife and children dearly. He was a man of few words but loved life and spending time at his cabin, and in later years going to Alberta to be with his children and grandchildren. They were his world.

Eph left this world as quietly as he lived it. He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege to know him.
