Vacation Bible School. He spent his career at various companies,including Dupont, Urethane Applications, BCBS MS, leading those around him until he retired in 1994 from the VAMC as the

the Boy Scouts, leading troops in both Georgia and Mississippi. He was an Eagle Scout, as were his two sons and grandson Matt. Edward's interests included gardening, woodworking,
traveling, 3-D printing, the Atlanta Braves and flying, at which point he purchased his own small plane. He loved small sports cars and his Fiat-500 Sport in GA Tech gold. What he loved most was spending time with his family and friends.
