Ed had a natural talent and love for dairy farming and giving back to the community. He served on many boards throughout the area, volunteered for many causes and was very involved in the community.Some of his community involvement and services that he served on were; TCCA Board of Directors for 27+ years (8 yrs as Chairman), he also was Director of the Farm Credit Services, was on Oregon Department of Agricultural Board (8 yrs), President of Oregon Milk Marketing Association (19 yrs) and Director of National Milk Producers Federation (5 yrs). Ed was Farm Bureau President and on their Board (30+ yrs), past grand Marshall of the June Dairy Parade, served on the YMCA board of trustees (30+ yrs), served on Fairview Water District Board of Directors, was appointed to represent Tillamook County Dairy Farmers on the State of Oregon Quota Advisory Committee, in 2002 was awarded the Oregon Dairy Farmers Association "Community Service Award", He was presented with "Honorary Director for Life" by the National Milk Producers Federation. He served on the Jr Livestock Auction Committee (34+ yrs), member of Prudent Plungers Investment Club, member of the local Elks Lodge, just to name a few of his services to the community. He and Wilma were members of the Tillamook (Mormon) Ward.

Ed believed in setting goals and going for them. In 1967, when he heard that the Farm Bureau was looking for an auctioneer, he told them he could do the job. Later, at home, he told his wife he got the job but had never auctioneered before, so he had to "hurry up and learn". He said this was one of the scariest things he ever had done, but he gave it his all and practiced around the clock. He was the auctioneer at the auction barn every Tuesday until it closed. His auctioneer services were sought after by many and he was asked many times over the years by other auctioneers where he went to auctioneering school, because he was so good at it. He also auctioneered for many fundraisers for the YMCA, TARC, TCCA, Tillamook Chamber of Commerce, Elks Eye Clinic, Tillamook High School's MOD fundraisers, and many others over the years.

Ed loved spending time with his family, and he was an amazing husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. When Ed was not on the farm or spending time with his family, he could be found golfing, fishing, or hunting. He believed in working hard, he was caring, loving, giving and loved to help others.

He is survived by his wife of 66+ years, Wilma, and their children, Greg (Elaine), Gaylene, and Stacy (Matt), many grandchildren and great-grandchildren,

The family has chosen to have private services, we appreciate your understanding.
