Ed was a devoted and die-hard Alabama football fan. He was known for being a very generous person and having a great sense of humor. He would always have a joke or funny story to tell. Ed also served in the United States Army where he gave his service to the Korean Conflict. During that period, he served in helping with the orphanage where he met a sweet little girl named Kim. He decided to name his daughter, Kim, after the little girl he made a bond with. Ed was loved by many and will be missed by those who knew him.
