Ed worked for Laborer Local 362 for many years. Ed had a great love and deep respect for the nature God provided, always taking it upon himself to feed the critters. For years, his weekends were spent manning the kitchen for T.E.C., Teens Encounter Christ, a penance he served with gratitude and love. He also dedicated his time and faith to Cursillo. He was a Eucharistic minister and lector at St. Mary's Catholic church and an avid Crusader enthusiast. Ed was always ready to brighten your day with one of his fantastical stories. To honor Ed, take a little time to appreciate the outdoors by yourself or with loved ones. One of he and his family's favorite activities to do; together.
