Edgar Dyal Obituary
He was owner of Ed Dyal Specialty Advertising for 52 years. He was a longtime member and deacon of Lees Chapel Baptist Church.
Ed was a father, grandfather, friend, and "Uncle Edgar" to many, whose kindness and sense of humor left a lasting impact on all he encountered. He never met anyone he didn't know before they parted ways. His love for His Savior Jesus Christ was evident in the life he lived, and he was always eager to share Christ with anyone he met. He was a true and faithful servant. Ed's presence in the home and community will leave a lasting void and will never be forgotten.
He is survived by his wife of 66 years, Laverne Ruis Dyal; daughter, Sandy Foster (Ronnie) of Alma; grandson, Andy Foster (Lyndsey) of Lakeland, FL; brothers, Roscoe Dyal (Carol) of Parker, Colorado, Wayne Dyal, Eugene Dyal (Sherrie), both of Alma; sister-in-law, Jane Dyal; several nieces and nephews also survive.

The family will be receiving friends at the church from 1 PM until service time. Interment will follow at Rose Hill Cemetery.
Active pallbearers include Tony Lee, Mikey Lee, Larry Lewis, Steven Lee, Charles Whitley, Richie Taylor, Kenny Ray, and Willie Jeffrey.
