He earned an electrical engineering degree from the University of Cincinnati, class of 1953. He was very proud that his family earned over forty college degrees. Ed had a long and successful career with Allis Chalmers and Siemens. Ada and Ed met at a Crowley's Highland House social when Ada was visiting Cincinnati friends. They were married at St. Boniface in Louisville, KY, April 12, 1958. Their family was raised in Cincinnati. At the age of 56 Ed was transferred to Bradenton then back to Cincinnati. When Ed retired he and Ada moved to Cortez Villa making many friends of neighbors as well as many friends in the St. Joseph Parish and the Knights of Columbus. Ed enjoyed sports, bowling, golf and playing cards especially bridge. There weren't many card games he was unfamiliar with. Family and Faith was the center of Ed's life. He gave us an example of life well lived. Ed would be the first to tell you he had a wonderful and full life.
