Edwin (Ed) Armin Job

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Ed Job on August 30th, 2022. He was 87 years old. Ed Job was born on May 9th, 1935 in Vegreville, AB. He was the third of four children born to John and Matilda Job. He worked hard on his family’s farm while attending Adams School until grade 10. As a young man he moved to Edmonton, AB where he worked as a carpet layer. He met a young woman, Delores Martin, at church and their romance blossomed. Ed followed her out west and on July 6, 1956 they married in Vancouver, BC. Ed found work as a carpet layer for Burritt Brothers, and after many years there he began constructing houses and warehouses in Richmond. Four children were born to them: Sherrylyn, Karen, Glen and Dean. In 1981 Ed and Delores moved to South Surrey where Ed continued in the construction business. Following Delores’ death in April of 1999, Ed married Joyce Martin in October 2001 and moved to Ladner until their home in Delta was finished. Ed had many hobbies throughout his life, including hunting, fishing, travelling and creating wood turnings on his lathe. His favourite thing to do was to meet with friends over coffee and chat.
