Ed and Rebekah Nelson, his first wife, were married
in 1967.
They were blessed with their son, Brian Edwin, in 1970.

They ultimately realized their lives needed to go in different directions, yet always remained good friends.
In 1968, Ed began a rewarding career in the title insurance business and would have celebrated his 40th anniversary with Chicago Title on October 21st.
In Modesto, he managed a department that specialized in subdivisions and was well-known and respected throughout California's Central Valley.
He transferred to the company's Kennewick office in 1994, parlaying those years of technical experience into sales and customer service.
He received many company and industry awards, both in California and Washington.

They met through Chicago Title, when she needed help on a subdivision plat.
They often joked that in her case, he took customer service to a whole new level!

Ed inherited his father's green thumb and had a great talent for landscaping, always having a meticulous, beautiful yard.
He was an avid San Francisco 49ers fan, and could tell you about every touchdown, fumble, and every "bad call" the refs made against his team.
