Ed was a dedicated businessman and served the banking industry for thirty-one years before retiring as Executive Vice President from Allied Bank of Texas in 1989. He was elected as a Director of Enterprise Products Company in 1987 and served until 1997. He then served as a Director of EPE Holdings from 2005 to 2010 and then Director of Enterprise Holdings from 2010 to 2014.

He was "Grandad" to fourteen grandchildren and fifteen great-grandchildren.

I´m sorry I was away and just learned of Ed´s passing. I have so many fond memories of working with him for almost 20 years from 1970 at Allied Bank. He was a wonderful friend, partner and supporter and I won´t forget him.

Ed was a true gentleman. I enjoyed working with him at Allied Bank. He was one of my favorite guys there. He is in our prayers. I am glad that I was able to share lunch with him a few years ago @ his favorite place, Joyce´s Seafood. Jim & Joan Alexander
