Edwin Larsen
Edwin Olaf "Ed" Larsen (24 August 1934 - 19 September 2012) was a Winnipeg lithographer for 47 years.
He married Betty Buxton in the late 1950s, had two children with her. They divorced sometime around the early 1970s.
He later married a woman called Linda Wilson in 1974, and remained married until his death in 2012.
"He enjoyed travelling, taking great pictures, golfing, reading and television. When you needed an answer for questions on any subject, Ed was the one to call. We will all miss his unique sense of humour."
He apparently worked as a lithographer for a time in the 1970s at "JACK BERGER (1982) LTD." This business was amalgamated into PROLITH (WESTERN) INC. on 31 January 1983.
"My sincerest condolences go to Ed's family. In my years as a film stripper at Jack Berger Ltd. it was Ed's unique one-liners that kept up everyone's spirits. Cheers to your memory, Ed!" - Volker Arnold (Former colleague at Jack Berger Ltd) on 22 October 2012
