Edward joined the Marine Corps during the Korean Conflict and was wounded at the Chosin Reservoir for which he received the Purple Heart. Afterwards he worked as an Engineer for the Chessie System, retiring in 1985.
Edward was a pro-bowler for 6 years and a proud member of the Huntington, West Virginia Bowling Hall of Fame. As an avid sports fan he also loved playing golf and watching football. He was a mister fix-it of many things and later in life he enjoyed making jewelry, much to the delight of family and the ladies of the Mandarin Church of Christ where he attended with his son and daughter-in-law.
