Edward grew up in Detroit and attended St. Hedwig High School. He was a successful pitcher for their baseball team and was awarded a scholarship at the University of Detroit, where he had continued success and received his Masters of Business Administration. During his postgraduate studies at Michigan State University, he met the love of his life, Barbara. He went on to have a distinguished career in the automotive industry in the Detroit area as an industrial engineer and cost analyst, while raising his two children in Sterling Heights and Shelby Township. He was a well regarded youth baseball and basketball coach for his son's teams.  

He retired from Johnson Controls in Plymouth, Michigan in 2003 and discovered a passion for travel with his wife that took him all over the USA, Caribbean, and Europe, with his favorite places being Hawaii and Las Vegas. He spent his later years in Northville and Canton, Michigan. He was a quiet, gentle man with a warm sense of humor and will be deeply missed.
