Over the years, he worked for Georgia Auto Parts, Bourbeau Equipment, Fineline Power Sports and Equipment and, at the time of his passing, he was employed at Champlain Valley Equipment for several years.
Ed was a motorcycle enthusiast and enjoyed riding. He was a jack of all trades and could fix or build anything. Ed easily made friends and could start up a conversation with anyone he met.
