Edward, known by his family and friends as "Ed," was born on April 9, 1930, in New Middletown, OH, a son of the late Harry and Elizabeth (Pitts) Stacy.

Ed was a lifelong resident of Springfield Township. He graduated from Springfield Township High School in 1949 where he met the love of his life, Marjorie (Wilkeson) Stacy. They were married on March 17, 1951 and enjoyed 71 years of a blessed and happy marriage.

Ed was a carpenter by trade and a member of the Carpenters Local 171 for over 73 years. He built many homes and commercial buildings in the area. Before retiring in 1990, he worked in the cabinet shop at Ace Lumber in Youngstown.

Ed was a member of the Petersburg Presbyterian Church and joined the Springfield Township Ruritan in 1961.

Additionally, Ed was a horse owner, trainer, and driver and was a member of the U.S. Trotting Association and Canfield Harness Horseman’s Association. He looked forward to attending the Canfield Fair every year and after he retired from horse racing, enjoyed traveling to all of the fairs to watch the races. He loved basketball and attending his grandchildren's school and sporting activities. He was their biggest supporter and “coach,” always willing to give advice. Everyone always enjoyed laughing along with him at one of his many little sayings.
