Edmund Alexander 'Ed' Janusas

It is with extreme sadness that the family announce the passing of Ed Janusas on August 8, 2016. He passed away after a long and brave battle at Juravinski Hospital. Ed was the last surviving sibling of the Janusas family of Montreal. He was predeceased by his first wife, Evelyn Rose (Crocker). Survived by his loving wife, Elizabeth Noble-Janusas, Hamilton, Ont.; loving daughter, Beverly Prescott, Dartmouth. He also leaves behind his cherished grandson, Andrew Janusas (Jennifer); great-grandsons, Ethan and Owen Janusas, both of Dartmouth; many nieces and nephews. Ed 'Poppy' was overwhelmed by the love shown to him by his extended family, the Marchand and Timbers families of Milton, Ont., and the Noble family, King City, Ont. over the years. He was a Royal Canadian Navy Veteran from 1948-1973 with his home base being Shearwater. He served on His and Her Majesty’s Canadian Warship Aircraft Carriers, Magnificent, Bonaventure, and the first Bilingual Canadian Warship Destroyer HMCS Ottawa. He continued to serve Canada in Foreign Affairs at six different Canadian Embassies abroad from 1975-1991. He was a member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 163 and Shearwater Aviation Museum, Dartmouth. He was extremely proud to be a long-time member of the Canadian Naval Air Group (CNAG). He was a long-time resident of St. Elizabeth Village in Hamilton and was wellknown as 'The Harmonica Man'. Even in death, Ed continues to serve his community by donating his remains to McMaster School of Anatomy. The family extends their heartfelt thanks to the staff in ICU, and Ward C4 at Juravinski Hospital. Our sincere thanks to Dr. G. Fraser and staff in the hematology department.
