Ed was one of my first deacons at The Woodson Chapel. He helped make our new building possible by using his machinery, his hired men, and his own labor.
He let the church members "glean his fields" for the building fund.
He will be remembered for his heart for missions and the Lord.
And I got to call him "friend." Will miss you Ed.
