Ed was also blessed with 9 beautiful grandchildren as well as 5 great grandchildren. Ed lived a rich and robust life! He graduated from Blake in 1943, and then was drafted into the US Navy in WWII. He served on the USS Lexington in the Pacific for three years. He was a proud veteran and some of his best stories came from his years serving his country. Ed returned to Minnesota after the war and made his career in business. He was the CEO of Schlampp's Furs, a third generation family business and a cornerstone of Uptown Minneapolis. He was also active with various community organizations. He served as a Board Member for both Midland and 5th Northwestern Banks. He was a Rotarian for 50 years, served on Lower Minnesota River Watershed District for 23 Years. He was an original member of the Minneapolis Breakfast Club and served on the Eden Prairie Planning Commission. Mount Olivet Lutheran was his church home for over 50 years. Ed had many interests and passions: he was a pilot, a race car driver, an expert fisherman, a gourmet chef, a beekeeper, a chicken farmer, a yachtsman, and a creator of great inventions that came to life while he was in his workshop. He loved spending time with his grandchildren and taking "cart rides" on his Toro around his Eden Prairie neighborhood with his wife Lois ("Toot") and grandchildren. Ed was a master storyteller who captivated many audiences with his tales. During the latter part of his life, some of his best days were spent with his "Coffee Crew," sipping coffee and talking about everything under the sun. Ed has finally found his way home to Heaven, where we know God has greeted him with open arms.
