Ed served his fellowmen with his smile, dignity, honor, calm acute wisdom and energetic love. He loved the Lord and pointed all to Him. After WWII his career and contributions start at Dupont, where he met his wife Beulah. Then his career went to truck/auto sales and to owning a dealership. His depth and versatility continue.
