His mother died when he was three years old. At age seven his sister, Elizabeth Kubiak, cared for him at their farm in Winchester, WY. He spent his time helping out on the farm and going to school at the Winchester Country School.

He then went to work for the Hanover Canal Company and Eagle Construction. At times he worked on several ranches helping with lambing.

In 1952 he began working at Holly Sugar during campaign and in 1958 full time. Edward retired in 1986 as a Shift Superintendent.

Edward married Margaret Liebsack on August 12, 1962 in Red Lodge, MT. Edward loved and enjoyed his family, cat “Karmen”, gardening and working with animals.

Edward enjoyed dancing and was a great square dance caller for two clubs, plus guest calling around WY from 1955 through 1968.  Later, Edward and Margaret square danced and polka danced at festivals and belonged to the Big Horn Polka Club in Sheridan. Edward was a thoughtful person and spent time helping others.
