Birth*Ralph Edward Edwards was born on 30 December 1948 in Lindsay, Victoria County, Ontario, Canada. 
He was the son of George Edward Edwards and Evelyn Olive Barry. 
Death*Ralph Edward Edwards died on 17 January 2025 at age 76; Ralph Edwards was deeply loved and respected by all who knew him.


He was born on December 30, 1948 in Lindsay, Ontario to George Edward Edwards and Evelyn Olive Edwards. Those mourning his great loss are his partner of 46 years, Marsha Fouks, his brother Barry Edwards (Barb), his sister Eldene Edwards, nephews Willy Drinkwater (Joanna), Craig Drinkwater, niece Janice Edwards, great nephews Noah Edwards and Jeremy Drinkwater, great niece Sarah Drinkwater, and Wendy Fouks and John Anthony.


Ralph grew up in Sunderland, Ontario and moved to Toronto in the early 70s. It was through great initiative, hard work and focus that he was able to open his own mortgage company. He was respected in his field and managed his company well through all the ups and downs of the economy. He had a deep and special love for his parents who were extremely proud of everything Ralph had accomplished.


Ralph will be remembered as a compassionate, kind, loving person with a wonderful sense of humour and a gift for making those around him feel welcome and respected. He seemed to always have a smile for everyone and loved to laugh his deep throaty laugh. He was so much fun to be with. He readily engaged people and enjoyed travelling, especially taking car trips with Marsha. He was passionate about hiking, particularly in New England and the South West U.S. One of his favourite trips was hiking and camping in the Grand Canyon. Ralph adored his dogs, Sophie, Maggie and Katie who trained him to take lots of healthful walks in the neighbourhood (meeting more people), through parks, golf courses and doggie hiking trails in the ravines. He loved playing cards, especially Bridge, and enjoyed other games as well - from Dominoes to Pickle ball. Games nights with friends and Marsha’s homemade pizza was a regularly enjoyed activity, as well as BBQs by the pool. Ralph really enjoyed the community of friends he and Marsha made in their condo and at Pickleball. His was a well lived life.


Marsha would like to thank everyone for their love and support during this extremely difficult time. Special thanks to Dr. Susanna Yee-Shan Cheng at Sunnybrook Hospital and her entire team, Dr. Jordan Elmalem at the Temmy Latner Centre for Palliative Care, all the caregivers and nurses who were wonderful to Ralph and lastly to the doctors and nurses associated with the Palliative Care Unit at Sunnybrook. Many thanks to Gord Postel for his heartfelt and personal reflections on Ralph's life.





May his memory be a blessing.
