Ed was born in Pittsburgh, PA on March 6, 1944 and grew up in the Mt Washington section of that city. He attended St Justin High, where he especially enjoyed participating in some of the school theatrical productions. Ed worked at the neighborhood Bard's Dairy store while attending school.

After graduation, Ed lived for a year in Los Angeles, CA, where he worked at Robinson's department store. He returned to Pittsburgh and enrolled in classes at Point Park College. Leaving college due to financial considerations, he completed a training program for radiology technicians.

Ed was working in the radiology department at Presbyterian-University Hospital in Pittsburgh at the time he entered military service.

Ed did his Army basic training at Ft Bragg, NC, and then completed advanced infantry training at Ft Polk, LA. He began his Vietnam tour with A 1/35th in July 1967.

Ed had a talent for writing, a dry wit, and a vast propensity for helping others. His Roman Catholic faith was an important facet of his life. Ed's memory is cherished by his mother and stepfather, Anne and George Dunsey, by his brothers, George and Patrick Dunsey, and by the many relatives and friends he touched with his kind and
good nature.
