Edward’s love for adventure, laughter, and family defined him. He had a passion for traveling across the United States, with Alaska being his favorite destination. A true prankster at heart, he had a gift for making people laugh and enjoyed sharing moments of fun and humor with those around him. Whether attending Christian concerts, Broadway plays, or spending time at flea markets, Edward’s zest for life was contagious. He also had a fondness for gambling, riding trains, and cherishing the simple moments with loved ones.

A man of great heart, Edward was known as the “best friend” to many. His warmth, kindness, and infectious laughter left a lasting impact on all who had the privilege of knowing him. His love for his family was unwavering, and he will be dearly missed by all who were fortunate enough to be part of his life.

Edward is also survived by his siblings: Dolores, Isabel, Adelfa, Virginia, Joe, Margarita, Robert, Greg, Don, and Beverly, who will carry on his memory with love and affection.

Edward's memory will live on in the hearts of those he loved, and he will forever be remembered as a devoted father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and friend.
