ED WILL BE DEEPLY MISSED AROUND TOWN AND AT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. ED WAS ALWAYS WILLING TO GO OUT AND HELP ANYONE.
IN 2012 WE CELEBRATED ED'S 50 YEARS OF ACTIVE SERVICE IN THE FIRE COMPANY. THAT WASN'T THE END, ED KEPT ACTIVE UP UNTIL THIS LAST YEAR AS HIS HEALTH DECLINED.
ED SPENT MANY OF HIS YEARS IN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AS ENGINEER OF OUR 54 FORD FIRE TRUCK WHICH WE STILL OWN, HE LOVED WORKING ON THAT TRUCK AND DRIVING IT.
WHEN WE RETIRED THE 54 FORD FROM ACTIVE SERVICE ED BECAME VERY ACTIVE IN THE FIRE POLICE OF NEPTUNE CITY AND MONMOUTH COUNTY, EVENTUALLY SERVING MANY YEARS AS CAPTAIN OF NEPTUNE CITY FIRE POLICE.
ED WAS ALWAYS 100% ACTIVE IN ALL OF THE FIRE COMPANIES FUND RAISING EVENTS SUCH AS FUND DRIVES, FIREMEN'S FAIR, CHRISTMAS TREE SALES, COIN TOSSES ETC. ED WAS ALWAYS THERE TO HELP.
