Ed was a lifelong Danburian, born on February 24, 1961, to the late William Lyman and Caroline Van Houten Lockwood.

It was at Danbury Hospital where he met the love of his life and his best friend, his wife Katherine “Katie” (Daly). 

Ed was incredibly active in the Danbury community his entire life, from being Santa Clause at the hospital during the Christmas season, to volunteering with the Girl Scouts while his daughters were involved in scouting, and most recently was the president of the Booster Club for the Danbury Hat Tricks (formerly Titans) and Off-Ice Official for the Federal Prospectors Hockey League (FPHL). He was also a Deacon and Choir member at Sacred Heart Church in Danbury for a number of years.
