Ed was born in Boston, MA, and was a lifelong learner attending Northeastern University before graduating from Empire State College and then achieving a Masters from Columbia University in New York.  His career in telecom led him from an entry-level installer to a Vice President before retiring to Hilton Head Island in 2005.

The support, joy, and love he provided in this world will live on.

A Celebration of Ed’s life is planned for a later date.
