work at the local power

plants. He later worked as

a janitor for the Colehar-

bor School and for the

City of Coleharbor.

kind and caring man. He

cherished the time he

spent with his children,

grandchildren and

great-grandchildren and

always looked forward to

family get togethers. n his

spare time, Ed spent

countless hours in his gar-

den, which was his pride

and joy. He meticulously

groomed and cared for his

plants and vegetables and
