Ed was a very loving man and in return he was loved greatly. He was an outstanding father and grandfather. He was a Jack-of-all-trades. Ed could fix or build anything. He was a very intelligent man that spent his life doing what he loved to do. He built and raced cars professionally, he drove truck even after retirement because he loved the open road, was an avid hunter and an excellent marksman (who proudly and recently joined the NRA), he loved to fish and be in the outdoors. Ed also loved being with family more than anything. He was always willing to lend a helping hand or give tools or knowledge to anyone in need. He was a role model that defined what a man, father, husband, person should strive to be.
