Ed was born February 2, 1934 in Cincinnati, Ohio. That is where he met the love of his life and wife of 61 years, Helen. Ed and Helen moved to California early in their marriage where he worked for Dolly Madison and other related companies. In 1970, he brought his family to Arizona and started working in the family business as an auto broker. He worked in the wholesale auto business in Arizona for thirty years, where he made many lifelong friends. As he approached retirement, Ed continued to enjoy collecting and trading guns, jewelry and watches, spending time with his children and grandsons and tinkering on his beloved Jeep. He leaves behind his beautiful wife, Helen, two daughters Deborah Latulippe (Hank), and Melinda Campbell-Weber (Marc), as well as two grandsons, Colby and Hayden. Ed is preceded in death by his two sons, Mike and Doug. God is good and He comforts us in our very deepest sorrow, but it's still a difficult valley to go through. A celebration of Ed's life will be held on Friday, October 18, 2013 at the West Valley Center for Spiritual Living, located at 9745 West Peoria Avenue, Peoria, AZ at 3:00pm, a reception will follow at the same location.
