In addition to his efforts for the Dunbar Center, he was also a member of the Antioch Baptist Church, and served as a board member of the Paducah Housing Authority and the Rolling Plains Management Corporation for many years. Above all else, he loved his family, especially his grandchildren. His children and grandchildren were his pride and joy, and he will be missed by his family and friends. Edward was preceded in death by his parents, his wife Mildred, brother L.T. Busby, and sisters Irma Lee Busby, Della Busby, Gracie Busby, Virgie Owens and Willie Ann Balch.
