Edward Aker Obituary
Edward joined the U.S. Army after graduating high school. He proudly served his country in Vietnam in the combat infantry as part of the 9th Division (4th/47th & 5th/60th), earning the rank of sergeant.
After his service, Edward was a part of the trucking industry for over 30 years, first as a truck driver and then dispatcher. It was at work where he met the love of his life, Evelyn. The two would marry on Valentine's Day in 1985, and later make a home on the Jersey Shore with their daughter, Katie.
After his career, Edward enjoyed relaxing with family, watching the garden grow, and following his favorite sports teams.
