Ed was a devoted father who supported his young family through the loss of their mother, Diane, after 30 years. He leaves behind beautiful, fond memories of love, laughter, and strength of character. Making memories meant the absolute world to him. Always quick with the dad jokes, he left his family a legacy of character, faith, and love. He was the epitome of strength and always looked at the positivity in every aspect of life.
Starting at a young age, Ed paved his way to a well-lived life. His absolute love for smooth jazz began with his first job at KSD radio, where his father was the record librarian and a musician for Russ David and His Orchestra. He served in the Army National Guard for 6 years and had a love of Country that kept him informed with current events right up until the very end. Ed built many memories and relationships during his 34 years at Holland Binkley.
He was very active within his parish and community. He was a member of the Holy Name Society at St. Simon the Apostle Catholic Church, where he loved to help with the BBQ Fundraisers and School Picnics. He was an usher for Sunday mass, coached his daughter Jeanne’s soccer team, and organized a crew to work for the annual Strassenfest. Ed volunteered for the St. Louis Track Club, the Special Olympics, Senior PGA Tournaments, The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, and donated blood regularly to the American Red Cross. He was the president of the HOA in his villa community and organized social events.
Ed had a zest for life, a love for nature, and creating beautiful outdoor spaces. He enjoyed visiting Augusta wine country with Jean, sitting around fire pits, and drinking great wine. He was an avid collector of Anheuser-Busch and Cardinal memorabilia.
Ed was a family man and will be greatly missed by all.
