He is a Veteran of the United States Army and Army National Guard and was currently working at his second home, the Trumbull Mobil Service Center, White Plains Road, Trumbull, CT. Anyone who knows Ed knows that he is the type of man who would do absolutely anything for anyone. He was entirely in a class of his own. He had many talents jack of all trades and master of all. He loved working with electronics, cars and anything else that put his mind to the test. We always said “Its not broken unless daddy cant fix it.” He adored all animals but had a very special love for his Shepard, Kobe. Family and friends meant everything to him and he always looked out for and protected them with his very core. To have Ed on your side was to know that you were safe.
