To be truthful, I know very little about him either. I have done some cursory investigation and, as yourself, have seen that he was a very solid Christian.
I receive a quarterly periodical of daily devotions, and they include his reading plan in it. It is an IFB produced devotion, so I looked into it. Seems an interesting plan, and the ideas of private and family devotional reading is nice as well.
My service as a deacon ended last year. We have an extremely small church and it was a difficult process. Not really enough to keep 2 deacons busy, plus there were some other issues as well. We do not even have a deacon board any more. Thanks for your interest.
I have looked in on your bravenet journal from time to time and have been disappointed that you have not been keeping it up. It was always an enjoyable read.
Take care
