A native of Milwaukee, Ed earned his degree at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee and had a career in media advertising. He had varied interests and eclectic tastes in music and art. He was an avid fan of football, basketball, baseball and auto racing. He had a quick wit, wry sense of humor and an inquiring mind. He treasured his family.
Ed fought valiantly against Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis as it ravaged his body, but not his spirit or soul. To the very end of life Ed refused to think of himself as sick. The family thanks Dr. Bruce Rowe of Columbia St. Mary's/Alexian Village and the Froedtert Hospital PM&R Pump Clinic team and the many others who treated and cared for Ed in hospitals, skilled nursing facilities and at home.
