Edward was a partner in the former Genesee Cigarette Company. He then went on to be owner of Trio Laundry and A1 Vending. He enjoyed fishing, golf, hunting, tinkering in his basement with his woodworking, and spending time in the spring in Fort Myers Beach, Florida walking the beaches. He truly loved taking care of his home on Lake Fenton and watching his children and grandchildren partake in all the water sports. His and Marions home has always been a welcomed gathering place for the entire family and their friends. Edward, even though you are absent, you are not forgotten.
