Ed served two decades as a Mechanical Machine Designer with Autometric/Raytheon. His interest in fish led him to own and operate Hilltop Aquarium from 1979 to 1997 where he never missed a day of work. For over 40 years, Ed served as a head Usher at St. Pius X Catholic Church, a role he loved and cherished. He will be remembered for his hard work, deep faith, and unconditional love.
