Ed was a kind and gentle man, who was always willing to help others out.
His favorite activities were hunting and fishing with his sons and working on automobiles.
He spent many enjoyable hours finding and fixing automotive problems.
He did all of his own mechanic work for many years on his mail trucks and cars; and he maintained the entire family's vehicles for many years until well into his 80's when this work become too difficult for him.
He didn't have to join clubs or organizations to be happy.
His happiness was his work and his family.

He will be buried at Desert Lawn Memorial Park in Kennewick, Washington.
