I first heard Ed when he represented the Ohio State Patrol in giving a safety speech at our school sometime around 1950. Then we served together in the same district of the FGBC. He was a real man's man, pastor's pastor, but more importantly God's man. He was a great example of what the Lord can do when we are totally sold out to Him. He will be missed.
