A passionate and gifted teacher Eddie taught for the TDSB for 22 years, earning the Premier’s Award for Teaching Excellence (Leadership) in 2009-2010.

Words are insufficient to express how heart broken and sorry we are for your loss. Losing a child is the most horrific pain any parent will ever experience. We wish you strength, courage, wisdom and love as you start your healing journey and know that we will walk beside you as you need us.
