Ed graduated from Collinwood High School in 1945 and served our country in the Navy. He married Flora Rusnak in 1948 in Cleveland. They knew each other since they were both 6 years old.

He pursued a college degree graduating with a bachelor’s in mathematics from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. Shortly after graduation he accepted a position with the Aetna Life Insurance Company at its headquarters in Hartford, Connecticut. Sons Gregg and Doug were born in Hartford. In 1958 the family moved to Chicago and Ed worked for Marsh and McLennan as a mathematician with an emphasis on actuarial science. Ed’s family made their home in the Chicago suburb of Palatine. Daughter Jane’s birth followed shortly after the move.

In 1965, Ed accepted his dream job as Executive Vice-President of TIC Corporation, an independent administration firm whose clients included many of the area’s largest collectively bargained pension and health and welfare plans. Pension funds administered by Ed included those for the Detroit area Carpenters’, Operating Engineers, Bricklayers and Laborers. Ed and Flo made their home in West Bloomfield.
