Ed was a member of the Jaycees and the Lions club and enjoyed participating in the many ways those clubs helped serve the community. In his spare time, he enjoyed sailing, skiing and vacationing with his wife Kay in Mexico and Costa Rica.

I am so sorry for the loss Ed's family is experiencing. Ed, I will miss you dearly. As both a fellow Lion and as a friend. You mentored me well in the Snohomish Lions Club and I appreciate all that you taught me. Thank you for just being you.

Ed was a smart and savvy businessman. His word was his bond. I enjoyed his friendship and his great sense of humor. He taught me, his attorney, a great deal about how to be both strong and fair.
