Ed was a man of deep faith and cherished his family and friends. He touched the lives of many with his zest for life, great sense of humor, kindness and desire to help others through volunteer work. He loved golf, travel, camping, Bible study (also taught Bible study), all sports (watching, coaching and participating) and tending to his yardwork. His favorite pastime was hanging out with his family. He was also very proud of his German heritage and would, on occasion, proudly don his lederhosen. Ed was fun to be around, telling a joke or just spreading cheer. It all came easy to him. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him. He made a difference in the world.
