While at Hopkins in 1956, Ed met and fell in love with Nancy Salzman, whom he married in 1958. She passed away in 2002, after 44 wonderful years of marriage. Ed served in many volunteer positions, which included terms as past president of the Exchange Club of Cockeysville and terms on the Board of Managers for the Towson YMCA.

An avid sports enthusiast, Ed also enjoyed travel, poker nights, tennis, political discourse, reading, music, old movies and great friendships.
