He worked as a firefighter for the Greenwich Fire Department Local 1042 from 1965-1977 and was promoted to fire inspector in 1977, a position he held until he retired from the Department in 1985. He worked for Housing Authority Insurance in Cheshire, CT, and after his retirement he enjoyed working part time for the Greenwich Alliance for Education driving the Story Mobile.

He leaves behind five grandchildren who gave him great joy: Adam Biggs, Thomas Biggs, his wife Kaitie, Edward Biggs, and Molly and Johnny McHugh. His two sisters Celine Crothers and Jean Duffy survive him.

Besides his parents, Edward was predeceased by two grandchildren, Bridget and David.
