Ed was educated in the Charlotte Mecklenburg School System and Central Piedmont Community College. He remained in Charlotte his entire life, with the exception of time served in the United States Army.
His places of employment were Westinghouse, Southwire Mtg. (sales representative), as well as Lufthansa Air Lines. Ed's sale position with Southside created a love of travel, and he spent his retirement years "just riding"; enjoying the beauty of God's Creation; as well as the history in both the Carolinas.
Ed is preceded in death by his father, Edgar Frank Smith, Sr. and mother, Emily Stilwell Smith.
Left to enjoy memories of Ed's life are his brother, Eric Smith and wife Joyce; nephew, Shane Smith and wife Donna; great-nephews, Ethan Smith and Nathan Smith; great-nieces, Keira Smith and Emily Smith; along with many cousins.
A Service of Celebration of His Life will be held at 2:00 pm on Saturday, March 9, 2019 in the chapel of Harry and Bryant, 500 Providence Rd., Charlotte. Officiating will be the Rev. Trevor Smith of Westminster Presbyterian Church, Charlotte. A visitation and reception will follow the service where family will receive friends. Burial will be private.
