Edward, or "Steamer," as he was called by his close friends and family, was born Oct. 6, 1942 in Niagara Falls, NY to William Adams and Enid Evans. After high school he enlisted in the Navy and was able to travel the world in service of his country. He spoke often fondly of these experiences. He was a proud veteran.

Edward enjoyed being home with his wife Susan and loved spending time outside in his back yard with friends and family, children and grandchildren. Even strangers were welcome and would often leave as lifelong friends. All were welcome.

He was an avid craftsmen who spent a great deal of his time working in his woodshop and developing his back yard. He enjoyed participating in local dart leagues and arranged several tournaments in the late 1980's and early 1990's to benefit local children's charities. He loved children and animals.
