He had a great sense of humor, was always ready with helpful advice, and had a special way about him that made people feel safe and welcomed. Edward was someone who simply ignored the normal family lines to include everyone he could in his life. Friends, business partners, customers and often their children too all considered him family and he was a father-figure to so many. He was dearly loved and will be greatly missed. Edward was a longtime, independent representative in the home-building industry, a veteran of the Korean War and a proud member of the VFW Post #7858 in Bernardsville.
