He had been looking forward to the upcoming weddings of his grandsons Zane and Kayla, and Caden and Mikayla.
He enjoyed collecting guns and going hunting in his younger days. Ed was always one to brighten up any ones day with his banter and comedy, was quick to tell jokes and could make anyone laugh with his wittiness. He never met a stranger and brought joy to everyone who was blessed to meet him.
