He especially enjoyed his times at “The Cottage” where so many special memories were made. Fun times were always had in the Northwood’s where family and friends gathered for Memorial and Labor Day weekends. Papa and Grandma loved to spoil the grandkids with trips to The Wisconsin Dells and Florida vacations. Our father would always tell us the story about his ambitions of owning his own business. He made that dream come true in 1964 when he became one of the owners of Advance Screw Products which he proudly called “The Shop”. He proudly and passionately helped lead Advance Screw successfully until January 2020. Ed will always be remembered for the love he shared with his family, his generosity, honesty and fairness. His love and support were unconditional and appreciated by all. Dad, you will be deeply missed and forever in our hearts. In lieu of flowers, memorials on his behalf to the American Cancer Society or the American Heart Association are appreciated.
