He attended school in Washington and graduated from Washington High School in 1978. Ed was united in marriage to Cheryl Smith on August 24, 2004. Ed enjoyed a simple life with his family and friends. He was a lifelong carpenter and worked at McCleery Cumming for many years as a machine mechanic. He enjoyed spending time with family, especially the grandchildren. Ed loved cold beer and NASCAR races on Sundays, checking bank lines and playing euchre at the bar with friends and family. One of Ed's pride and joys was his Corvette that NO ONE but him was allowed to drive. Ed could generally be found in his garage "tinkering" with something. If you knew Ed, you know that with one simple phone call he'd be there to help you with whatever task was at hand. Every one of us that were fortunate enough to have known him are better for it; he was deeply loved and will be greatly missed.
