EDWARD MAXWELL DITTLOFF -- October 11, 1926 - January 16, 2019
Edward Maxwell Dittloff was born October 11, 1926 in Transcona, Manitoba and passed away January 16, 2019 on his farm in Grindrod, BC.
Ed's main interests in life were horses, family and farming. Ed was the son of a CN watch repairman and in his younger years he was an office worker in the Powell River paper mill.
In 1955 he married his wife Gladys and in 1958 they bought a
320 acre farm in Grindrod and his dream of being a full-time thoroughbred horse
breeder and farmer came true. They had 3
children Louise (Neville) Smith, Karen, and Stanley (Candy). Their farm raised crops, children and horses
that he was proud of. He was very proud
of his 3 Horses of the Year, Summer Lil,
Fleet Reserve
and Lord Rosberg
and
numerous divisional champions.
In 2018 he was inducted into the B.C. Horse Racing Hall of Fame for his accomplishments in the thoroughbred racing world.
Ed’s ashes will be spread on the farm that he loved, in a private family service in the fall.
He lived his life well, with no regrets. He dreamed big and made his dreams come true.
