Edward soon met and fell in love with Elsie Kerr of Brighton Township. Their love and commitment was a strong testament to family and friends. They resided in Brighton Township for 47 years.

Edward served in the Marine Corps, and was one of the proudest to have honored his country.

He was a faithful member of Four Mile Presbyterian Church for 40 plus years, and more recently a member of Bridgewater Presbyterian Church.

Edward leaves behind his great grandchildren AnnaMaria, Phillip, Emily, Jacob, Jack, Beau, Ava, Hunter, and Karamina; grandchildren Kristin, Gretchen (Ramone), Michael (Amanda), Christopher (Pam), and Sarah Marie; and children Joyce (Michael) and Mark. He is preceded in death by his daughter, Vicky, as well as his parents, and siblings Vernon, Donald, and Margaret.
