Ed was a great lover of cars and boats. He worked as an auto mechanic for over 50 years at Mayfield Garage in Baltimore taking only a short hiatus to build ships during WWII. His pride and joy was his brand new 1932 yellow Desoto with rumble seat. He could fix anything! Medical equipment to home appliances, to building engines for hydroplane race boats were all within his abilities. He loved fishing and spent countless hours cruising the Chesapeake on his boat 'Compromise' always looking for that big catch.

He was also predeceased by his brothers and sisters, Charles, John, James, Robert, William, Joseph, Mary, Lydia, Bonnie and Sister Lucille Francis.
