Ed was a proud veteran of the United States Navy, having honorably served his country during the Vietnam War. His military service was a source of great pride throughout his life, and he especially valued the friendships and connections he maintained with fellow veterans.

Ed enjoyed the simple pleasures in life, whether it was relaxing at home watching his favorite television programs or spending time woodworking in his younger years. He took pride in working with his hands and creating things through his craftsmanship.

In accordance with Ed’s wishes, there will be no services. As a final act of generosity, Ed chose to donate his body to medical research.
