He loved Golf and Bowling, going deer hunting with his sons and watching the Detroit Lions and the Detroit Red Wings.
Ed loved to travel and he and Betty enjoyed many cruises and other vacations over the years but their trip to Italy remained one of his favorites. As the years progressed he continued to find great joy in quieter moments like watching his grandchildren, attending their various sporting events, supporting with pride the accomplishments of Nic, Garret and Kyle as they reached the Rank of Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America and relaxing at his cottage up north where he could soak up the sun on the beach and deck.
