Ed worked 44 years for the Okonite Cable Company and was transferred from Wilkes Barre, Pa. to their plant in Passaic, NJ, where he met, courted and eventually married Dot on October 20, 1956. They enjoyed bowling together and singing in church choirs and Ed was an active member of the Clifton Songsters, a Barbershop group for many years. Ed enjoyed coaching his sons in baseball, basketball and football and watching his daughters compete in gymnastics. He relished the opportunities to watch his grandchildren compete in baseball, softball, basketball and volleyball. Ed was a godly man who taught Sunday school and was an elder and served on many committees while attending the First Presbyterian Church in Clifton, the Christian Reformed Church in Clifton and Preakness United Reformed Church in Wayne.
