Ed was from Newport News, VA. He was a Timothy of the 24th Street Church of Christ (later named Northside Christian Church). That church gave birth to the Northampton Church of Christ (a church I served for a number of years). Ed used to tell me that he considered Northampton his home church too. I remember one Sunday morning when I looked out and saw him seated in the congregation. I was very nervous, but he was encouraging afterwards (as he was many times through the years).
This morning, Ed went to be with the Lord. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing. 2 Timothy 4:7-8

Thank you Mike for including Uncle Eddie in your blog post! He was truly an amazing man!!! As kid I watched and watched him when he would come visit Grandma. He would walk for hours around the park in downtown NN. As kids we always wondered why he talked to himself so much :) He was reciting scripture we were later told!! He always kept a New Testament in his back pocket!! I appreciate your words today! Thanks Mike!!
