IT IS WITH GREAT SADNESS that we announce the passing of Ed Bryant, founder of Unilock. Ed passed away at his beloved home in Horseshoe Valley, Ontario on January 28
th, 2021. Ed was an inimitable force in life, a king among men, living many lives in his 85 years through the highest of highs and devastating lows. Measured by the number of people whose lives Ed affected, his life and legacy will continue indefinitely.
Born on November 30
th, 1935 in Edmonton, Ed spent his early years in Alberta. After two years at the University of British Columbia he enlisted in the military and was eventually stationed overseas in Soest, Germany. Upon returning, he worked in B.C. and Alberta on the pipelines with Mannix, a career path that ultimately brought him to Toronto where he received training in a new innovation called “computers.” He used this knowledge to help create one of the first companies (Global Travel Computer Services) to offer computerized booking systems to the travel industry as his first foray into entrepreneurship.
