Ed worked as a contract worker in the home construction business. All those who knew him, knew his speciality was in cement work. He passed his skills down to his children and anyone willing to learn. He worked hard until his body couldn’t take the manual labor anymore, but that never stopped him from helping family and directing the work.Ed loved fishing and hunting. His first love was fishing, and he loved sharing his love of fishing with anyone willing to tag along on an adventure with him. His car was always loaded and ready to go catch some fish. In October he always looked forward to hunting with his boys and grandkids. Even if he wasn’t hunting something he was always up for the trip to go.He was known for his huge garden he planted every year. His kids and grandkids remember how large it once was, but as time went on the garden got smaller. Smaller to him was still large to most of us. He enjoyed every bit of gardening, especially being able to do it with Mary.He was the first person to help anyone in need. He was the rock of the family, but he knew he couldn’t have done it all without Mary. He has inspired so many and loved so many. He has taught his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren what true unconditional love is. He has impacted so many lives in so many ways.
