During the last few years of his life, he shared a lot about his growing up years in Breda. He liked to hunt, fish and work on the farm. He told stories of using horses in the fields and getting out of school for 2 weeks in the fall for harvesting corn. He talked about getting electricity and Grandpa’s first car. And he also shared stories of shenanigans he played on, and with, his siblings. In 1942, Edgar enlisted in the Navy and proudly served his country in the South Pacific during WW II. He spent time in New Zealand, Efate, Australia and was on a mine sweeper that cleared the mines out of the waters around Iwo Jima before the great victory. He was honorably discharged in 1945 and he returned to Breda to help farm. For entertainment, he would go to dances in the area ballrooms, and it was at one of these dances he met Delores Bachman; 3 months later he proposed to her. In 1947, he and Delores were married.
