Church for many functions including the annual church festival and lenten fish fry dinners.  Ed was famous for making his delicious potato pancakes.  On his farm, he would also make his homemade flavorful kielbasa and kishka.  He loved farming and enjoyed hunting, watching Pittsburgh sports teams, and the Young and the Restless television show.
