Despite his many successes in the engineering field, Ed's longstanding love of the outdoors and cattle ranching always drew him back to his farm south of Atlanta in Senoia. In his later years, Ed was able to devote himself to the breeding and sale of purebred polled Hereford cattle as well as spending time with family who often visited "the farm". He and his wife Delores were also active in several small country churches in the area. Things that made Ed smile included riding his white horse, admiring his cows and good cigars.
