Ed developed strong relationships with his fellow coaches, students and players, and even after retirement was always greeted as "Coach". In addition, he enjoyed fishing, traveling with his friends, woodworking and spending time with his family. He was a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother and uncle.
