Ed was born Oct. 7, 1941, in Terre Haute, to Samuel Dominick and Hortence Waggoner Dominick of Clark County, Ill., where he was raised. He graduated from Marshall High School and Indiana State University, where he was a member of the Theta Chi fraternity. Ed proudly served our country in the United States Air Force, which included serving overseas in Japan and Greenland. Ed worked for several businesses in the area, including Stran Steel, Bemis, Ulrich, Happico, and Trailmobile. Many of these companies trusted Ed with management positions, and he was loved and respected by his co-workers. His Catholic faith was very important to him, its values and virtues guiding Ed in how he lived his life everyday.
