Ed Credle: Patriot And Servant Of The People

Last weekend, Mr. Ed Credle, one of Pamlico County's most good and faithful servants, passed away. The county has lost a wonderful gentleman who served our community well.

Ed did not seek the limelight, he merely sought to serve. Over the years, Mr. Credle served as a town commissioner, but most memorably, he served on the Pamlico County Board of Elections.

I don't have a list of the exact years that Ed served the voters of Pamlico County. His terms were not entirely consecutive, but they add up to about two decades.

He was an inspiration to me and a source of valuable perspective on election matters. He will be sorely missed.

Ed Credle will be laid to rest this coming Saturday at the Missionary Baptist Church in Mesic.

The finest tribute any of our citizens can pay to the memory of Ed Credle is to vote in the 2012 election.
