Born in 1955, Edward lived in Delaware County throughout his life. Ed was a 1973 graduate of Springfield High School. Throughout his childhood and adult life, he was passionately involved in the Boy Scouts of America. Ed was a jack of all trades, he was an auto mechanic, printer, builder, and manager.

He had a love for animals, handiwork, athletics, the Phillies, and the Flyers.

He loved vacationing with his family anywhere with a beach, where he also enjoyed boating and fishing. Ed marched to the beat of his own drum, and loved making people laugh.
