He was born in Selz, North Dakota on March 30, 1927 to Frank and Catherine (Wentz) Goldade.
He served in the United States Navy as a gunner after World War II. After his military service ended, he married Bertha Roerick on October 27, 1952. He worked on the construction of the Garrison Dam after which he moved to Bismarck where he worked to build the Heskett power plant north of Mandan. In 1954 he started employment with MDU at the Heskett power plant. He then moved to Mandan, where he lived for the next 36 years until he retired in 1990. After his retirement he dedicated his life to the loving care of his bride of 61 years.
He was a dedicated and devout Roman Catholic with a great devotion to Our Heavenly Mother Mary and thru her, to God. He was a member of the Legion of Mary and the Blue Army of Our Lady. Edward and Bertha instilled this Catholic Faith in their children by their example of fidelity to the traditional teachings of Catholic Church.
