Ed loved being busy, and had been an active member of Riddle Lodge 315, serving as Master in 1964. He belonged to the Royal Arch Masons 100, Keramos Council 95, where he was Past Illustrious Master, and Pilgrim Commandery 55 Knights Templar. Ed was also a member of the Scottish Rite, Valley of Steubenville; Northern Panhandle Shrine Club; Osiris Temple; Legion of Honor; East Liverpool Shrine Club (where he was Past President); and Elks Lodge 1040.
A proud American, he held life memberships in the Tri-State Korean War Veterans Chapter 126, Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 66, and the American Legion Post 374.
