He moved to Delaware with his family when he was a junior in high school. Edward received an honorable discharge from the Navy and retired from IBM with 30 years. He received numerous awards for his work ethics. He was known for his quiet way of going into an account and fixing the computer problem quickly and efficiently. Edward loved being with family. When he was younger, he spent a lot of time with his sister and younger brother doing things. Some of his best times were when all his family would go to the West Virginia parks for a gathering. There were a lot of good visits, food, hiking and good times for everyone. When his parents moved back to Delaware from Florida, he enjoyed nice morning walks with his mother. His favorite time was camping with his family. He took the camper to Trap Pond with his brother John, guy time. Edward's very best times were when he was doing things with his wife, children and grandchildren. Between working on his little farm, camping and sailings, as long as he was with them, he was happy. His children always had questions about everything. He was a very knowledgeable person and if he didn't know the answer he would tell them where they could get it. Edward also owned and operated Marydel Video with his wife and children. He taught his son how to repair VCRs. Edward is survived by his wife of 42 years, Jacquelin M. and their children, Edward F.
