He relocated to the Brainerd lakes area in 1977. The last 30 years of his life he lived in the home he built on Butterfield Lake in Fifty Lakes. He was a very talented "jack of all trades" admired by anybody that knew him. Ed brightened up the lives of the many friends he made over the years with his fun-loving nature. He enjoyed making people laugh and smile especially his daily breakfast group at Howard's Barn in Fifty Lakes. He will be forever missed by his family and friends.
