Preceded in his death was his loving wife, Nancy, of 60 years of marriage, daughter Denice, and sister, Phyllis.

Edward rose through the ranks within the Sacramento Police Department, ending his career as Deputy Chief. After 30 years of service, he returned and performed background checks for potential new officers and this went on for several years.

Edward had few passions but the ones he held tightly were his family, the law, and baseball.
