He then attended college at the University of Minnesota to study agriculture and farming. On August 22, 1964 Ed married Bonnie Matthes in Kerrick, MN. Together Ed and Bonnie raised their children in the same rural area they grew up in. Ed provided for his family throughout his life by farming and driving truck for Halvor Lines for many years. Community involvement, serving God and the church were big factors in Ed's life. He was a member of the Kerrick Community Church board, a board member of Grindstone Bible Camp, and a member of the Kerrick City Council for many years.

The family has asked that instead of flowers  and plants that people donate to Grindstone Lake Bible Camp in memory of Ed, plant a tree, and remember Ed when they enjoy any sweets (especially fudge, that was his favorite).
