Edgar enlisted in the Navy at age 18, and was Quartermaster on his landing craft. He fought at the Pacific front of World War II, fighting in the Battle of Iwo Jima.
Under the GI Bill, he obtained a bachelor's degree in civil engineering and a post bachelor's in architectural engineering from the University of Texas. He remained a devoted Longhorn.

Edgar was active as the social chair of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, a Toastmaster, 100 club, VFW and a Mason and Shriner who designed and built the Arabian Shrine Temple in Houston.
He permanently relocated to the family farm where he built his "statement" 4 story house using his pioneering precast concrete construction. He also extensively traveled independently worldwide and with his family including scuba diving in Australia and the Red Sea, among his many adventures.
