Edmund Morton was born in Washington DC on February 19, 1935 and died at home in Deale, MD. on June 18, 2020 in the early morning hours.  Ed left behind a rather large family of 6 Children, 10 Grandchildren, 4 Great-Grandchildren and his wife of 52 years.  Ed was an Army Veteran who’s one tour of service put him in Germany at the same time as Elvis Presley.  He was a member of the American Legion Post 226 and a former Charter member of the Elks Lodge in Broadneck, MD.

Before his retirement in 1997 from Giant Food Inc. he worked for the Evening Star for approximately 6 years.  Ed’s interests were doing Sudoku, reading; and before his health decline, liked working in the yard.  He will be sorely missed by his family and our 2 dogs, mostly Taffy who you could always find sitting in his lap day & night.
