Edward was a proud Little League coach for the Olney Midget Teen League, as well as Warminster Baseball. He was a die-hard Eagles fan and spent nearly every Sunday with his children watching the game. His favorite vacation spot was Ocean City, New Jersey where he never went a day without eating his favorite Mack and Manco pizza for lunch.

He also spent time by volunteering at the Warminster Volunteer Fire Department for many years.
