Ed is also survived by 3 grandchildren, Madeline, Maisey, and Georgia, and by many nieces and nephews.

In addition to his love of art, biking, and sailing, Ed enjoyed spending time with family and friends. He especially enjoyed sharing these interests with his granddaughters, taking them on trips to the MFA, paddling around Spy Pond catching turtles, and going on bike rides. Particularly meaningful to Ed, were the many trips he and his wife, Betsy, were able to share. Ed believed strongly in helping others and donated platelets at Dana Farber every two weeks for nearly 20 years.
