Ed was a graduate of St. Joseph High School in South Bend, IN and later attended Ball State University in Muncie, IN, where he earned an Associate’s Degree.  He also answered the call to serve his country in the U.S. Army Reserves during his youth. On July 9, 1966, he married Esther M. Urbanski at St. Hedwig Catholic Church in South Bend, IN. 

Ed was a well-respected Innovator and Entrepreneur in the RV Industry from the 1970’s until his passing.  When he wasn’t working, he enjoyed time with his family and friends, competing and winning numerous golf tournaments throughout the years at Knollwood County Club, settling up bets on the front, back and total with “The Gamblers”, buying-in on the poker table and sinking the eight ball into the side pocket.  His always-even demeanor led way to his nickname Steady Eddy among Chaz and Tennessee.
