He was always the first to chime in with a quick joke and he never missed the opportunity to make a new friend. He loved deeply, laughed often, and positively impacted anyone who had the pleasure of crossing his path. Ed worked as a Semi Truck Mechanic and he could fix just about anything. He once said " There is the right way…..the wrong way…..and the Ed Waters way ! " The later was a mix of both. Efficient yet not text book, functional but not pretty, but he always got the job done. On August 25, 1992 Ed joined AA. He shared his story of recovery to thousands of people over the years and he often spoke of the lives he helped positively impact.

He cared and he believed in the community and the program. In 2006, Ed met his wife, Missy Taylor ( Deceased: Jan 2020) . Together with their son Aiden, they lived in Brimfield.
