He was preceded in death by his beloved wife Payton, with whom he shared over 20 years with traveling and enjoying life.

Ed had an identical twin brother, Stan, and a sister, Dorothy, both of whom have passed away. He is survived by his younger brother, Ron.

Later in his life, Ed lived in Senior Living and was a favorite by his neighbors and staff. Ed was charming, never complained, and always wore a smile on his face. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who had the honor of knowing him.
