research at the CNC by providing funds to visiting entomologists who curate the collection. 

 In addition, Ed wrote and distributed a quarterly newsletter for retired entomologists 

 and their spouses for the past 18 years. For many years, he also visited public school 

 classrooms to promote entomology, often with a tarantula named Carmen at his side. Ed was 

 recognized for his work by receiving the Queen's Silver Jubilee Medal (1978), the Canada 

 Commemorative Award (1984). He was made a Fellow of the Entomological Society of 

 Canada ( 1 974) and an Honourary Member of the Entomological Society of America ( 1 997), 

 at one time, the only person to be so honoured by both societies, and was also made a 

 Fellow of the Entomological Society of Ontario (2003). Following retirement, he became 

 an honourary research associate at the CNC and continued to come into work nearly every 

 day for the past 28 years. His tireless efforts to promote entomology and the CNC have 

 had far-reaching effects not only in Canada, but throughout the world. He was very well 

 known in the entomological community, partly because of his friendly, social nature, but 

 also because he attended every single ESC meeting for the past 49 years! Ed's cheerful, 

 positive attitude, sense of humour and love of bowties will be sadly missed.
