Ed served in the U.S.Navy from 1963 to 1967 and was stationed in Keflavik, Iceland and also aboard the USS Wright CC2 out of Norfolk, VA. He was a radioman.

Ed and I have been married for 23 years and have 5 kids and 11 grandchildren.

Ed began experiencing symptoms in early 2012 and was diagnosed in March 2012 with ALS at 67 years old. Although it was a shock we have accepted it and are living life a day at a time.
