Outside of professional life Ed had a passion for travel, developed during his various station posts while serving in the US Army. Fishing and golf were also passions. Ed enjoyed many, many, trips abroad and many a day spent on the banks of a lake or river or in a boat with his fishing rods.

Ed will be remembered as a fun & loving parent to whom his children could always turn to for advice, as well as a grandfather & friend. His spirit will be cherished by all who knew him. May he rest in peace.

A memorial service for both Ed & Jeanne is planned for April 13 in Sun City Arizona. In lieu of flowers the family appreciates your donation to an animal rescue organization of your choice.
