He worked underground in White Pine Mine and at the Ontonagon Herald before buying Double D Printing, he enjoyed hunting, fishing, gardening and trivia. "Retch and Rancid" will never be the same.

A celebration of Eds life will be held at a future date. Ed will be disappointed with this obituary. He always said he would have the shortest obituary- "Eds Dead"
RIP my Dear, I'll find you again.
