Ed graduated from La Monte High School in 1966. He worked for 38 years for a local electric company retiring as a foreman. He was a hard worker, even as a child. While still in school, he helped his uncles on the farm and did various odd jobs. In his middle years, he enjoyed bowling, archery, and coed softball. He was a long-time member of the Elks Lodge. After purchasing the farm, he enjoyed planning and carrying out projects on his property. He was always available to help friends and family.
