Edward Layne Longstreth, 73, of Morgantown, passed away peacefully with his family by his side on Friday, Dec. 13, 2019, at his home.
Ed was born Aug. 3, 1946, the son of the late Paul Edward Longstreth and Edith Jones Longstreth of Aleppo, Pa.
Ed moved to Morgantown and graduated from University High School in 1965, when he then enlisted in the United States Air Force and served four years as a fabrics/rubber repair specialist and was honorably discharged in February 1969. Ed loved automobiles and worked in various places as an auto detailer for many years. He retired from Freedom Kia in 2007. Ed’s greatest passion in life was spending time with friends and family, especially his grandchildren and great-grandchild. Ed never knew a stranger and always had a joke to tell. He also was an avid deer hunter and enjoyed bowling and golf.
