After an honorable discharge, he attended the University of Richmond, where he played football and was a member of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity. During this time, Ed met the love of his life, Mary Burke Donald. After a long courtship which included many nights star gazing on the top of Mary's home on Davis Avenue, they were married in July 1955. After working several years for Sinclair Oil Company, Ed and his brother, Bill, who was working for General Tire Company, started Capitol Oil Company in 1963.
