Ed was a quiet people-person and loved all things John Deere and horses, including horse showing and trail riding. He enjoyed spending time with his family and working on the farm.

In his generous nature, Ed was an organ and tissue donor through Lifeline of Ohio and gave the gift of life and hope to others.
