Grilling outdoors was a favorite activity as well as planting flowers around his home. Ed had great humor and brightened up the room he was in with his corny jokes and bright smile. He went to the American Folklore Theater in Door County often to see his son perform. "Guys on Ice" became his favorite play. He enjoyed the occasional "Old Fashion" and always invited others to join him in a cocktail. He was a season ticket holder to the Packers and wore green and gold on game day proudly.
