In Memoriam: Oden E Lockhart
March 05, 2009
I have just received word from my old friend, Rick Via, that our mutual friend and father in ministry, Oden E Lockhart, died on February 24 after a brief illness at the age of 91.
Some may remember the tribute I wrote to "The Old Time Preacher Man" back in 2007 on the occasion of his 60th anniversary of ministry and continuous broadcasting on radio stations around the Appalachian region.
Rick informs me that "The Preacher" was still conducting his radio ministry up until the time of his death.
He was an encourager to me for 35 years. I will miss him. "Well done, Thou good an faithful servant," applies.
