Always / Melba Jo Chron (wife)

I am praying for the family in the "homegoing" of E. C., for while we can rejoice in the fact He is "home" with no sickness or pain, etc., it does not prevent us who knew & loved him to feel sorrow in missing his physica...

My Grandpa
My grandpa, EC Chron, went home to be with the Lord on January 30, 2008 at Brookhaven Nursing Home in Carrollton, Texas. He was loved as a father, husband, brother, uncle, grandfather, pastor and friend. Grandpa was born in Ralls, Texas to Virgil and Nellie Chron, the second child of six. He graduated from Ralls High in 1944 and soon afterwards enrolled in the US Navy during World War II. In 1946, Grandpa married my Grandma, Melba Jo Reinhard in Chula Vista, California and had 4 children between 1947-1958; Clint,(my dad) Josa, Deanna, and Tami. In 1957, Grandpa and Grandma decided to explore the great frontier and moved to Anchorage, Alaska where a year later, Grandpa surrendered to the call to preach the gospel. From the Eskimos in Alaska, to the bums in the rescue missions, Grandpa had a heart for people. For the next 35 years, Grandpa served as a pastor, missionary and evangelist, conducting over 400 crusades in the US and India. In his spare time, he also enjoyed flying planes, fishing, reading and going to McDonalds. :) Only the Lord knows how many lives he touched through his sound preaching, compassionate ear and optimistic spirit. He was a person who "walked the talk", never judged and was a man of great character and principles. I look forward to seeing him again someday in heaven. We miss and love you Grandpa.
Memorial Service: February 5th, 2008, 2:00 pm at the First Baptist Church of Carrollton in Carrollton, Texas.
