After graduating from college in 1955, Ed enlisted in the Marine Corps. After completing Officer Training School in Quantico,VA, he served for 2 years at El Toro AFB in California. Ed always had an entrepreneurial spirit, beginning with trapping and selling rabbits, and selling milk and cream from his prized cows as a young boy, to owning and operating Brentwood Service Center until his retirement. He also owned and managed rental properties. After retirement his passion turned to traveling and antiquing, where he and Nan made many new friends across the country. He was never happier than when he was talking about and showing his antiques, but his greatest pride was his family. His favorite times were trips with the family and family gatherings. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Visitation will be from 5-7 pm on Wednesday, at Gorman-Scharpf Funeral Home.
