Ed graduated in 1944 from Ludlowville High School and earned a BS in Accounting in 1953 from Ithaca College.

As a long-time member of Drumlins Golf Club, Ed was an accomplished golfer who oversaw the Men’s League for several years. He could be found in his very organized woodwork shop when not on the golf course. He also served as treasurer of the Kimry Moor HOA for 3 years. Ed and his friend George delivered many meals to local seniors through Meals on Wheels. Many of his family members have one of his many needleworks on their wall. He loved playing solitaire on the computer and solving the daily Sudoku and crossword puzzles.
Ed’s life will be celebrated with a memorial service in July.
