Condolence: To Marg and Helen Scarlett; I reentry saw Edward's obituary as I have not spoken with Ed since the passing of my son, Krisstoffer Hubble, some years ago. I am so sorry for not talking with Ed before his passing and now leave my condolences for his family.

Condolence: Marg, my sincere condolences to you and the family. Ed will be missed. I hope you are well.

Condolence: Most of my interaction with Ed was through The Youth Camp. Ed volunteered at the camp for a few years before he became director. He saw the need for change and started to implement his ideas. He started the first advanced group for returning campers. Before this, returning campers had to retake the same training they had done the year before. He initiated a system where year one campers got the basic training and year two campers received more advanced skills and leadership training. They also coached the year one campers. During the second year he kept an eye on the advanced campers and chose a few to come back as counselors. He was a very good judge of talent and potential. This system is still in place and the counselor job is one of the few volunteer jobs that has more volunteers than openings. More important than all this is that Ed completely changed the culture of the camp. Management consultants will tell you it is almost impossible to change the culture of an organization but Ed did this. The camp became an experience of respect, learning and new experiences. Enrollment climbed to 70 people and the camp went from one week to two separate camps of one week each. There was a waiting list and Ed would have enrolled all of them. It was difficult to explain to Ed that the facility and staffing was already stretched to the limit. He did not do this on his own but relied on his family. Helen did the administration and organization of the camp. This was not Ed’s forte. Michael was also integral to the smooth running of the camp. He handled projects, did numerous trips up and down the hill, put out fires and he knew what was in Ed’s truck and where it was. This is much more than it seems as Ed’s truck was a legend on its own. John and Marla were lucky? enough to have grown up and escaped the job but the three remaining family members melded together to get the job done. There are too many stories that can be told so here is a few of them. When Ed was around there was always something interesting happening. It was usually big and either involved black powder or possibly fire. He demonstrated how a cooking pot and a volley ball could become a cannon, how to light a blaze with a broken flashlight and black powder. He was also busy making targets. These included a bear that popped up downrange, a two headed deer that would run back and forth at the end of the range and numerous versions of silhouette targets. His mind was always busy with new ideas. This may be why there are stories about when he lost focus, A camper had burned his leg at the overnight and Ed was taking him into the hospital. He stopped at the main camp to let people know what was going on. He got to talking and forgot about the camper in the truck. He was reminded and it all worked out. Ed made enough trips to the hospital one year that we were accusing him of having an affair with a nurse. One morning I was at the bottom of the hill with a tool box that probably weighed 50 lb. Ed was getting into his truck and I asked him for a ride. He said sure, I need to back up top some steel and if you throw it in the back I can give you a ride. I did that, got my toolbox and when I went to load it Ed was half way up the hill. The next morning Ed was going to his truck and I asked him for a ride again. He said sure and to wat a minute as he had to get something from inside. Another instructor came out and asked if I needed a ride. I said no I am just waiting for Ed. He said that I may be waiting awhile as Ed was inside sleeping on the couch. No reason to be upset, this was just Ed. Ed, Michael and another camper were bringing Ed’s boat from the loading ramp when the engine caught fire. The other camper was ready to bail out as gas and fire on a boat are not good. Ed just nonchalantly said “Darn it” and Michael calmly put the fire out. It caused no more excitement than if he had forgotten to close the screen door. He never seemed to get excited and this was something he passed on to Michael which was probably a good thing or he would have been a nervous wreck. Helen got very good at smiling and rolling her eyes. All of us at the camp learned a lot from Ed. He not only taught skills but he taught an attitude and a way of thinking that enriched people’s lives. After a number of years Ed started to feel that the camp needed a change and sone fresh blood so he picked his successor. Unlike most fish and gamers who would be looking at grey haired old folk he chose someone much younger. He picked Stacey who was in university at the time. She has carried through and built on Ed’s legacy. Ed would be proud. Ed had the skills and ability to excel at almost anything. I am sure that if he was asked if he lived the best life he would say he had. He accomplished a lot but his family was his proudest achievement. If the measure of a person is the amount of positive affect that he has had on other people, very few would match Ed. Marla was talking about the emotional impact the sunset had on her when she was grieving. Ed told me once that from an artist’s perspective that the sunset was made of horizontal lines. I have thought of this when I look at a sunset for years. Pretty nice legacy.

Condolence: Sending our sincere condolences from the members of Two Hills United Church.

Condolence: Dear Helen, I am saddened to read about your father’s passing. Wishing you and your family my sincere condolences. May he rest in peace.

Condolence: Ed was truly a man of many seasons. He had a special connections with many youth at Narrow Lake outdoor camps. His soft and fatherly voice as well as his reasoned points of view left many campers in awe of his presence and every camper grew to respect what he offered at all times. I learned much from just watching Ed deal with children that has served me throughtout the years. My grown children have benefited greatly thanks to what Ed taught me.

Condolence: Reverend Ed was our minister at Ottewell United and he officiated my wedding 27 years ago on January 13th. A kind and generous soul who will be sorely missed. Love and condolences to the family.

Condolence: We were honored to have had Rev. Scarlet as our minister in Two Hills, AB for a few years. He was very well liked by all the Congregation for his Sermons, singing and sense of humor. He will be greatly missed by all who had the honor of knowing him and considered him not only our Minister but a friend.

Condolence: May his memory be eternal. May God grant you and your family his peace at this difficult time.
