Edward Charles Wofford

“I appreciate your even temper and the calmness you exude. I attempt to copy, with little success. You were a rock in the family, a massive boulder that could not be moved. You left your mark on each one of us; the mischievous grin, the concentrated stare, the quirky humour.  It is comforting to know that you are now with the Lord.  88 years seems like a very long passage of time, now you see that it was a blink of an eye.  We are all very close behind you and anticipate seeing you in a short while.”

Ed also leaves behind countless friends and spiritual children. He has touched thousands of lives through his numerous ministries. Ed donated much of his time to rest homes, juvenile facilities, home Bible studies and ministry to anyone that God placed in his path. He was a true Christian who dedicated his life to showing this world God's love.  He continued the ministry with his second wife, Marilyn, who has been a true blessing to the Wofford family.  Marilyn requests that in lieu of sending flowers, that a commitment to serve the Lord Jesus Christ would be wonderful.
