Edward was a true example of how to provide for the ones you love. He worked for Builders First Source and later successfully ran his own carpentry business. He enjoyed the simple pleasures in like such as setting out by the water, fishing. Edward enjoyed a drink from time to time, and he really did like to dance even though he was famous for saying he didn't know how.  When family and friends got together with to share a meal, he truly was the happiest.
