Edward J. Scime, 85, passed away peacefully at Margaret’s Place Hospice in Dundas, Ontario on March 11, 2026. Beloved husband of Joan (nee Kay). Loving father to Jason (Bridget) and Michael. Doting grandfather to Charlotte, June, Elizabeth and Norah Scime. A much-loved fixture in the Dundas business community, Ed was an entrepreneur in the clothing industry with several successful local stores including The Livery and Dockside. Later in his career, Ed served as a General Manager for Comark Group Inc. of Oakville, ON, where his talents helped expand stores nationally for the Dockside brand he created as well as for Polo Ralph Lauren and Fossil. With an endearing smile and positive outlook, he embraced his family and community with open arms, and created a warm and respectful environment which anyone who had the pleasure of knowing him could feel unmistakably. Perhaps best summarized recently by a friend “Eddie was a sweetheart, always a kind word or deed, Dundas was fortunate to call him one of our own.”
“Goodnight sweetheart, well, it’s time to go.”
Family and friends are invited to Turner Family Funeral Home, 53 Main St. Dundas, on Saturday March 21st from 1 to 4pm for a Celebration of Life. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in memory to Margaret’s Place Hospice, Dundas, ON.
Dear Joan and family. I was fortunate enough to have worked alongside Ed during his great career with Comark. He was a superb merchant and mentor to many. My whole family send their condolences to you and your whole family. Dick Schulte
Condolences to his family
Eddie was such a great guy! So sweet and sincere, you always came away from a conversation feeling better! He did so many things that he didn’t get credit for, he helped out so many young people in town . The Livery was The place to buy your jeans , I remember saving my babysitting money to buy some “hop sacks”. I missed seeing Eddie around town but I got the scoop from Joan when she shopped for groceries at Metro. Eddie was one of a kind! Our kind. We will miss him. My love and prayers and respect to Joan and the family. Xo
I know your family memories are also combined with retail memories as they seem to go hand in hand for the self-employed. I remember “Bushwackers” across from my store back in the ’80’s and some funny Eddie stories. Ed could not have achieved the success in the business world without being the pistol he was.
He was surely blessed to have a loving family who took the best of care of him in his time of need at the end of his journey. I know you will hang on to all of the wonderful memories he left you.
Dear Joan, Jason and Michael,
I am saddened to learn about Ed’s passing and would like to convey my condolences. I remember the early years as your neighbour and the get togethers with the children. Mira and Jason were the same age and good playmates. I wish you all the best for the future.

Dear Aunt Joan and Family:
Words cannot express what an impact uncle Ed had on my formative years. His guidance and mentorship was paramount in directing me into business. For that I will be forever thankful. Unfortunately due to being out of country I will not be able to attend Uncle Ed’s memorial. Please know my heart and prayers will be with your family. My sincere condolences to you at this most difficult time. Love Anna
I am sorry to hear of Ed’s passing. He was a wonderful guy and a mentor to many, including myself. He inspired many of us in knowing if you worked hard and put in the hours in retail, you could succeed. Sincere condolences to Ed’s family.
Sympathies go out to you Joan and family. Going back to the seventies I remember going to the Livery and chatting with Ed. Buying corduroy jeans and shirts. He was always positive and fun to talk to. Years later meeting up at the Estates. Continuing our conversation from years back.
Rest in peace Ed.
