Ed served in the U.S. Navy after graduation. My dad stood 6'8". Try as he might, he kept knocking himself out during drills on the ship. Finally, I guess his superiors felt sorry for him and he was honorably discharged.
His first job out of the military was as an electrician with the Erie Railroad. He eventually landed a job at General Tire & Rubber Company.
He was a Master Mason with Portgage Lakes #752, Akron, Ohio. He was a fan of blue grass music, find a word puzzles and beer. He loved cardinals (red birds) and would watch them every chance he got, I guess I should say when NASCAR wasn't on! Was a member of the Arbeiter Saengerbund Freiheit Club of Akron, OH on Moore Road.
Ed worked for 27 years at General Tire & Rubber in Akron. He took early retirement and moved to the Outer Banks of North Carolina to become a commercial fisherman.
What am I going to do now?

A huge THANK YOU to Sherri for sponsoring my Dad's memorial! Her kindness and generosity will not be forgotten.

Grief never ends, but it changes.
It is a passage; not a place to stay.
The sense of loss must give way
if we are to value the life that was lived.
