     Born to the late Edwin and Lou (Shepard) Lathan, Ed spent most of his life in the house where he was born and raised for almost 70 years.  He spent 55 years married to the love of his life, Grace Parmelee, whom he married April 3, 1965.
     Graduating from Le Roy in 1965, he took on many jobs to provide for his family, some of the most cherished, was working with his father-in-law, John Parmelee.  He drove truck for many companies, finally retiring from Wegmans, so that he could join the carnival, which he enjoyed working with until December 2019.
