For 22 1/2 years, Edward worked at the Prentiss County School District bus shop where he dedicated himself to ensuring the safe transportation to the children of the Prentiss County School District until he retired.

He enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren, gardening, raising corn and watermelons and watching over the woods that surrounded him. He enjoyed nature, his dogs and riding his fourwheeler.
