Edward was born on December 15,1931 in Mamaroneck, New York to Mary and Arthur Murphy.

In the late 1950’s, Ed met the love of his life, Doris Fenton. They were married in Forest Hills, NY in 1960 and lived there briefly before moving to Huntington Station, Long Island. They were married for 65 years.
