Edward also volunteered on the Pleasantdale Fire Department and later served as Fire Commissioner. Upon retirement the couple moved to a lake home in Holcombe.

Edward was very capable and independent. He enjoyed maintaining and fixing things around their properties, playing cards, square dancing, and hunting. Edward was a life-long member of the Dorchester American Legion Post #517 and of the IAM Local #701 in Chicago.
