He was named the Scholar Athlete of his graduating class and earned the Sharby Award for outstanding athletic ability and leadership. He graduated having excelled not only academically but as a star athlete in baseball, wrestling, and football.

Ed was the family gentle giant with a big smile and hug for everyone. He thought the happiest place on earth was in fact DisneyWorld and spent many vacations there. Christmas was his very favorite holiday and nothing made him happier than hearing Christmas carols, decorating the family tree, and planning presents for all of his family. He loved coaching his sons in baseball and football. He felt fortunate to coach many young athletes of all abilities, during his years of volunteer coaching. He was a wonderful man who will never be forgotten by his family and friends.
