Born in Passaic, New Jersey, Ed was raised in nearby Wallington, where as a boy, he served as an altar boy in the Polish church. Immediately upon graduation from high school, Ed joined the United States Air Force. He served during the Korean War era as an airplane mechanic. After his military service, he worked as an Expeditor for Revlon in Edison for 30 years before retiring. In 1977, he moved from Wallington to Monroe Township.

Ed was an avid collector of Hess trucks, Wade miniatures, and, through his association with the Air Force, model airplanes and airplane magazines of which he collected hundreds. Until her passing in 2020, Ed loved to dance and to travel with his beloved wife of 40 years, Elizabeth (Bess).  He was a communicant of Immaculate Conception Church in Spotswood. He was “Grandpa Ed” to his 4 beloved grandsons and 7 great-grandchildren.
