returned to Acton where he renovated his childhood home, a huge source of pride and
craftsmanship where he loved to entertain friends and coworkers alike.

After his retirement from Retail, Edward started a successful small business in Littleton,
Ed’s Weenies. Ed embraced the town of Littleton as they grew to embrace him and
volunteered to serve many local events. He always loved to see his regulars and welcome
the new customers to the stand. Ed’s Weenies was featured on WCVB Channel 5's Five for
Good during the ‘Books for Kids’ campaign that raised thousands of dollars for Littleton
Public School libraries.

His lifelong love of music led him to the Nashoba Valley Chorale where he was a member
and former President. During his tenure as President, the chorale grew to over 100
members and put on major works with an orchestra and professional soloists.

Friends may gather at his Celebration of Life on September 17th at 11am. The memorial will
