Ed was a manager of credit and collections at several corporations both in New Jersey and in Florida. He was a member of Christ Church in Fleming Island, where he also played guitar for many years with the Worship Team for Christ Church Services.

Ed started playing guitar as a young boy and taught both of his sons to play, music was always his greatest enjoyment. Ed and Eileen loved to travel, enjoying cruises, mountain cabins and Disney, which was their favorite. 

Ed will always be remembered for his bright smile, kindness, integrity and tremendous love for his family. Ed had a heart of gold. He would always reach out to anyone in need and especially enjoyed community outreach to “Make a Difference in the Lives he Touched.” His love of animals was such a strong part of who he was. He was blessed with so many wonderful friends.

Heaven has gained an angel and one day we will all be reunited with our Father.
