For many years Ed worked in the hotel and transportation industry. Ed was a loving father, brother, husband and son. He enjoyed everything sports, literature, music and family. He would make anyone laugh, could give anyone directions to anywhere at the drop of a hat, and could tell you what happened in any given year especially regarding sports. He made BBQ and gardening an art and it was an art that he mastered. He was always there for his family and showed the unending triumph of optimism. He will be dearly missed by so many.
