Edward was born on June 2, 1960, in Chicago, Illinois to Donald and Dorothy (Bowling) Bard. On June 16, 1984, he married Sandra (Thomas), whom he called "his bride". He worked for Girls Town for eight years and would've adopted all of the girls if given the chance. Edward was an avid sports fan, watching the Denver Broncos each season.
