Edward enjoyed farming and was known as the "egg man" at the market in Mt. Clemens. He was very involved in his church and proud of his Catholic Faith. Many Sundays were spent attending church and then making breakfast for the kids-especially pancakes in the shapes of their letters.

He loved model trains and sharing this love with his grandsons.
Surviving are his wife, Phyllis of 12 cherished years; children Joseph, Margaret, Denise, and Daniel (Amee); grandchildren, Andrew (Katelyn), Michael (Ashley), Matthew (Alex Shepherd), Adam Dalecke, Aaron Dalecke, Devin Dalecke, Jacob, Brady, and Vincent; three great-grandchildren, Layla, Jameson and Raelynn; two sisters, Arlene (David) Leveque, and Jeanette (the late Robert) Deason; brother and sister-in-law, Joseph and Marilynn Umloff; as well as many loving nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
