Edward was born in 1929, the youngest of 3 siblings in Chicago.  He attended St. Mel’s School and received an Associates Degree from Morton Jr. College.  After Morton College, he went into the Army, was sent to Germany and was in the Coding/Communication division for 2 years.  Later, during his employment at Amphenol, he took a business course and became a supervisor in Production Control.  He was also part of the bowling team at Amphenol.

Amphenol was where he met his wife, Dolores of 65 years.  They dated a little over a year when they married in 1959.  The couple had 3 children and took family trips together across country.

Throughout his life, Ed enjoyed taking long walks, reading, doing crossword puzzles and taking care of the home and garden.

After retirement, Ed and Dolores enjoyed traveling around the world.  They visited China, Germany, Italy, England, Ireland, Isreal, Czechoslovakia, Switzerland, Hungary and Poland.  Closer to home, they also visited Hawaii and Alaska.
