Ed was a member of the National Audubon Society where he participated in the annual bird count for many years. He rarely left home without his binoculars. He also never missed an opportunity to travel and enjoyed many golf trips, camping adventures, fishing outings and family vacations.

After finding his love for the game of golf in 1976, Ed became a member at the Marshfield Country Club, where he served on many committees including the Board of Governors. During his time at "the club" he organized the 7:30 Elrick group, which developed into many lifelong friendships.
