Ed and Ann were often seen zipping around in their Z3 roadster heading to one exciting adventure or
another. Not only was Ed a known car enthusiast, he was a systems engineer, Air Force veteran,
beekeeper, tinkerer, amateur arborist and was always willing to give a helping hand to anyone no
matter where or when. More than anything, family was Ed’s ultimate passion. Like the trees he loved, Ed
provided a strong foundation for his family and offered shade and protection to those he loved.
