Ed was active in Boy Scout Troop 777 while his four sons were in scouting. He started the troop’s annual Christmas tree sale in 1965, when trees were sold for $3 each.

Ed and Ann (nee Everitt), his wife of 69 years, lived nearly all their married life in Bel Air. In addition to Ann, Ed is survived by sons Tim (Marilyn), Carl (Margaret), Glenn (Pat) and Neil (Alexandra). He was a loving grandfather to five, and a great-grandfather to two.

Ed enjoyed classical music and was an ardent supporter of the Harford Land Trust. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the HLT in his memory.
