Ed's second career was as the Director of Transportation at Stormont Vail Regional Medical Center where he retired after 18 years in 1997.

Ed is survived by Judie and their dog Effie; his daughter Christy, and her husband Kevin, and grandson Kyle; his son Ed and wife Diane, and grandsons Christopher and Jacob; and his brother-in-law Troy, and too many dear friends to count, let alone name.
