Katelyn & Chelsey Stuckart, and four great grandchildren: Carina & Lucas

After moving to Orlando from Long Island, NY in the mid 1980s,

Orlando became home to Ed and Joyce. Gradually each of his children

moved to Florida and he was always surrounded by an abundance of love.

Ed raised his family with love, kindness and a strong work ethic and

always set a good example. After Ed and Joyce retired, they traveled

extensively, becoming world travelers. Their favorite means of travel was

by cruise ship, and by now they have easily traveled most of the world and

have been on over 40 cruises! One of Ed’s favorite places to travel was

Scandinavia and he even traveled to China and walked on the Great Wall

well into his 80’s!

He was a generous man his whole life, donating to a plethora of

charities every year and to anyone who was in need when he was

fortunate enough to help. He was very active in his Church on Long Island

serving as Senior Warden and was awarded the Bishop’s Cross. Ed was

very active throughout his entire life. He played baseball, and one of his

dreams was to be a major league pitcher. He loved to bowl, and was a

member of the same bowling league for many years. Edward was an avid

swimmer and a Rosen YMCA member. There was rarely a week that went

by where he wouldn’t enjoy the water, either at the beach or at the pool!

He also enjoyed going to the movies, the theater or just reading a good

book. Nothing made him happier than being with loved ones and being

able to watch his family grow. His determination, compassion and

benevolence have touched all who have met him. Edward spread kindness

wherever he went, and has left this world a better place.
