WEICK, Edward Ralph

Peacefully at the Civic Hospital in Ottawa on January 1, 2021, aged 88 years. Beloved husband of Mary Mussell. Dear dad of Jim (Alison Pye), Frances, Ted (Lynn Brochu) and Emily. Loving grandpa to Aaron, Joy, Katree (Madelyn Hubbard), Allison (Caleb Miller) and Benjamin. Brother-in-law of Harold Rose, Bob and Cheryl Mussell and Ann Levere. Survived by many nieces and nephews and his former wife, Beth Spall. Predeceased by his parents, Reinhold and Stanislawa Weick, his brother Carl Weick and sister Margaret Rose. A graduate of the University of British Columbia and the University of Ottawa with a Masters Degree in Economics, Ed had a long and distinguished career in the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development. During the late 70’s he was seconded to the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline Inquiry (Commissioner, Thomas R. Berger) as Socio-Economic Advisor followed by a 3-year secondment to Dome Petroleum in Calgary. After retirement from the government in 1987 he was a busy consultant with First Nations organizations, including the Council for Yukon Indians and several others. He travelled extensively in the Canadian North with his work even making it overseas to Scandinavia. He was also a volunteer worker, both locally and internationally. An active member of the Fourth Avenue Baptist Church, he served for several years on church council and sang in the choir. For the past few years, he was a proud member of the Sunset Singers. Our family would like to thank paramedics, doctors and nurses for their kind and compassionate care of Ed while in hospital. A Celebration of Life will be held after the pandemic at Fourth Avenue Baptist Church. Donations in his memory may be made to Fourth Avenue Baptist Church or Haven Too, a shelter for homeless youth, both located at 109A Fourth Ave., Ottawa ON K1S 2L3.  Tributes, condolences, and donations may be made at www.tubmanfuneralhomes.com
