Edward was born on August 28, 1952 in Phoenix, AZ to Dr. Edward and Mary Wong.

Edward loved the Lord dearly and looked forward to Wednesday nights where God Spoke His Wisdom and Message through Pastor Scott Richards of Calvary Christian Fellowship. Edward also loved sports. An exceptional high school tennis player who held the top position for three straight years, Edward ended his career in the quarter finals in divisionals. Shortly after college, he joined the El Rio’s Men’s Club, playing golf on Sundays with his buddies, whose friendships go back several decades. Edward was a family-man. He was also a champion for kids, the voiceless. He was kind, generous, and easy-going.
