Mr. Pirrotta was born on December 18, 1943, in Camden, New Jersey, the son of Andrew and Anna (Staszewski) Pirrotta. He grew up in Camden, attended Catholic schools and graduated

from Gloucester Catholic High School, Class of 1963. Ed was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1964, and he was stationed in the DMZ in Korea for 13 months. Ed entered college in 1966 at Mankato State University, graduating in 1970 with a Bachelor of Business Administration and Bachelor of Business Education. He attended the University of Minnesota and St. Cloud State University for a Masters degree. On August 19, 1967, Ed was united in Holy Matrimony to Tomi Jean Buckingham. They made their home in the Willmar and Spicer communities and shared over 45 years together. They were blessed with three children and three grandchildren: Lori (Elliott and Anna-Jean), Anthony "Tony" (Anthony "AJ") and Andrew "Andy." Ed taught carpentry at Ridgewater College from 1972 to 2003.

Ed was a member of the American Legion Post, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Elks Lodge, Little Crow Country Club and numerous other organizations.

Ed's greatest gift to those he loved, his family, friends and community, was volunteering his time and talent for design and carpentry. In keeping with his competitive spirit, Ed enjoyed golf, playing cards, scrabble, and games of chance.
