Ed was an active member of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, serving as an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion in the church, in nursing homes, and to the homebound, from the 1970’s until 2018. He participated in the Cursillo movement and embodied its principals of living a Christ-like life every day.
He was also a 4th Degree Knight of the Bishop-Timon K.C. Council #6405 in Jackson. He received many K.C. awards and was responsible for the Tootsie Roll Fundraising Campaign for many years.

He was preceded in death by his parents, and three siblings: Ernest (Irene) Beussink, Paul (Judy) Beussink, and Stanley Beussink.
