Ed spent most of his business career in sales – starting at Phil Long Ford as a manager, then moved to other dealerships before ending up as a mortgage broker which he continued until his illness in 2019. Ed’s favorite pastime was watching football and baseball. He could name every player and statistics from the early 1900’s to today, knew their teams, statistics, and any additional fact about the players or teams. His new favorite pastime the last two years was sitting in his recliner with his grandson and watching the cartoon – Bluey. The two were very close and spent many hours together. Ed’s personal passion, that he shared with all in his family, was that of animal activist, animal rights, and animal protection and preservation.
