Edward was born in Evanston, IL on November 21, 1937 to Edward and Florence Seng. He served in the US Army and was honorably discharged in 1957. Ed married the love of his life, Helen, in April of 1958 and they were together for 54 years when she left this world in January 2012.

Ed and Helen then moved to Barefoot Bay, FL to be closer to his family; in his later years Ed enjoyed traveling, genealogy research, was an avid firearms collector and was active in the local tennis club.
