Ferd and I worked together for many years at Church of The Way where we had many delightful and insightful conversations around our shared faith and sometime arcane theological issues. Ferd's knowledge and wisdom were always impressive and yet were invariably shared with genuine humility and gentleness. Apart from working alongside Ferd I remember him for two things: his deep love and commitment to Wanda and his ingenuity (and much elbow grease) in making improvements to their home. Knowing Ferd made all of us better persons. He was a mighty man in God's Kingdom. - Posted by: John Botkin (Friend) on: Feb 28, 2019
