Ed proudly served his country in the US Navy, having served in World War II. One of his favorite pastimes was to reminisce about his service to his country and what it was like serving overseas. Upon return from service he then spent his career building submarines as a Machinist at Electric Boat for General Dynamics, in Groton, CT.   

Edward especially looked forward to Sunday breakfast with the family, he much enjoyed his cheese omelet and iced coffee. He loved to watch his old TV shows, Bonanza, Gunsmoke, and rest assured he listened to FOX news. Edward’s real love was spending time with his family and grandchildren.
