Anne Dickert | | | | J. Ray & Mary Gillespie, South Carolina | | The Stillwell name came into our collection in the early 90's When Bob and family came to Seneca. Bob was our much appreciated pastor and he very soon introduced us to his admired parents, Ed and Ada, when they visited Seneca.In
'04 we moved to Wesley Commons where we joined Ed and Ada as residents and united with their church, St.Mark of Greenwood. I enjoyed the privilege of teaching their Sunday School Class on occasion always aware that Ed had much more experience as a teacher and administrator than I.During the past few months we looked forward to our short visits on Sunday mornings when we waited for Sunday Dinner. A good man,father, husband and teacher has moved to a much better address. | | | | Jim W. Johnston, South Carolina | | Bob,
My prayers are with you and your family as you grieve the loss of your father. I had some great times visiting with your parents while at St. Mark UMC. His warmth, strength, and faith are etched in my memory. Please convey my love and prayers to your mother. I will keep you in my prayers in the days of sorrow to come.

God bless. | | | | Jodie C. Galloway, South Carolina | | Mrs. Stillwell, Bobby and Dee, I really enjoyed teaching from January through May of 1964 and starting the first track team at NASH. Mr. Stillwell was always supportive of me and I think he was "kinda" glad that I was there. My Dad and he were friends. They both were great disciplinarians, demanded respect, ran a "tight ship" and had a sense of good humor thrugh it all. Oh yes, they loved the Lord and prayed (even out loud, as appropiate). What a legacy you have. Much love to you all, Jodie and Tess Galloway | | | | Vivian Kaney DeHart, Virginia | | He has left "footprints" on many heats and lives. My thougts and prayers are with the family.
he | | | | Marion D. Garrett, South Carolina | | Mr. Ed Stillwell was a terrific mentor and role model for many of us at North Augusta High School. He is fondly remembered.
