uncle and was a friend to everyone he knew.
Ed loved working with his horses and spoiling his dogs with his dear
love, Hallie. Ed also enjoyed fishing, watching NASCAR or the Cleveland
Browns. In his younger years, he enjoyed dart-ball with his church. If
he slowed down long enough to watch a show or a movie you could find
him watching a Western. He loved John Wayne and collected memorabilia.
He worked at Elson Ford in Versailles in the late 70’s through the 80’s
and then later Greenville Ford. He became a Realtor and Auctioneer in
1993, later starting and operating Huffman Auction Service for 21
years. In 1999, he was recognized as Realtor of the Year. He was
involved in many organizations around Darke County and was a member of
the Freemasons. He was always there to lend a helping hand to anyone
who needed it. Ed never knew a stranger, he had a bubbly and warm
personality and infectious smile. Ed loved big and will be missed by
all who loved him.
