Eddie also served as Head Pastor of Sunset Chapel Assembly of God in Miami, Florida. Starting in the late 1960’s he served for three or four weeks each year as a designated missionary evangelist and helped train local pastors and laypeople in a dozen countries in Central and South American and in the Caribbean. In 1995, Eddie was ordained to the work of the Family Ministry by Round Grove Baptist Church.

He loved sports including basketball and football. While in Miami he enjoyed sailing on Biscayne Bay and spending time at the lake with his family in Missouri. He and Pam enjoyed riding their bicycles on the Katy Trail and other local bike trails. Eddie was a great encourager and cheerleader for his family and friends. It has been said, “Everyone felt loved and important when around Ed”. He adored his five grandchildren and his dog/companion Sasha. Those who knew Ed well called him Husband and Best Friend, Dad, Poppy, Eddie, and Mr. Ed. We will miss those heart to heart and encouragement talks and his dry sense of humor. We will all miss his presence in our lives.
