Ed spent most of his life as a carpet installer, taking deep pride in doing the job right and leaving every space better than he found it. He was known for his strong work ethic, steady hands, and attention to detail, qualities he carried quietly but confidently. When the workday was done, Ed found joy in the sound of old rock and roll, letting the music play as a soundtrack to a life built on honest labor and simple pleasures.
