He grew up in Ridley Park, Pa., and was very proud of his Delaware County roots. He lived in Springfield, Pa., most of his adult life. He married his sweetheart, Rita (Hassenplug), and had three children: Nancy in West Chester, Pa.; Dr. Robert (Denise) in Bluffton, S.C.; and Michael (Mary Ellen) in Springfield, Pa. He had seven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
Upon retirement, he and his wife hit the road in an RV, travelled throughout the United States, and finally settled in Sun City Center, Fla.
He was a lifetime member of the Hawk Migration Association of North America and was an avid birder who helped band hawks and other birds of prey at Hawk Mountain.
Graveside services will be private at St. Peter and Paul Cemetery in Springfield, Pa.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Alzheimer's Association in Edward's name.
