He was a proud, great grandfather to Parker and Luke Faircloth of Panama City and recently welcomed a step great granddaughter to the family, Harley McAlister.

He enjoyed traveling in retirement with his wife, Martha, reading books and collecting stamps. Ed will be remembered for his sense of humor, his ability to fix nearly anything and the collection of tools he left behind in his garage.
