  1. To the family of Ed Keinberger: I was so saddened to read Ed’s obituary. His wife Arelene and my mother, Audrey Dean worked together in the 1970s. The three of them spent a lot of time together when they lived here in Kamloops. We had many family dinners together. I recall that Ed was a beautiful chef. When Ed cooked a meal it was fabulous. My mother was raising four children @that time as a single parent. Ed and and Arelene were a great support for her. They would go out for beers on paydays and were at our home a lot. When I married my first husband in 1973 Ed was the man who gave me away in the place of my father. He was such a good and kind man. At one point he was working at a body shop as a painter. I believe it was called R&S Autobody here in Kamloops. My mother owned a 1956 Volkswagon beetle. It was a great little car but still had the original faded green paint. Ed took it to the body shop and painted it on his own time for Mom. I think he only charged her the cost of the paint. The color they chose was called ” Rally Green.” It was really bright and made the car look very trendy and cool. If I had known Ed was at the hospice center I truly would have visited with him. We all seemed to have lost touch over the years. The last time I heard from Arelene was when my mother passed away suddenly 5 years ago in June. Arelene read her obituary and phoned me from Kelowna. I don’t even recall her married name. I do wonder if she knows of Ed’s passing. Strangely I had been goin through some old photos and happened apon a wedding day picture of Ed and I. It was the very next day that I read his obituary in the paper. I told my sister Christine about the obituary and she said that she had been thinking of Ed just days before I gave her the news. That photo had been in a box from when we emptied Moms house 5 years ago. I couldn’t bear to deal with sorting through it until just recently and then finding that photo was such a lovely remembrance of Ed and the special friendship our family had shared with him. I hope my long rambling is not to tedious for you. I just felt I need to share with your family the sweet memories that my family has of your dear Ed. If I may I would like to contact you and maybe share our loving memories. Sincerely, Gail Soltesz.430 Malahat Place, Kamloops, B.C. v2e2m8. 250-828-2166
