Services will be at 4 p.m. Thursday in Rader Funeral Home in Longview. Visitation will be 5-7 p.m. today at the funeral home.
"During the 20 years I have lived here, I have known him to be a very fine gentleman, a very astute and conservative businessman," said Bob Dyer, vice chairman of Longview Bank & Trust.
"He was successful in his commercial developments because of his careful analysis of projects before he entered into them," Dyer said.
Ferrell's developments included Brookwood Village Shopping Center, Judson Plaza Office Building, Tall Pines Center, Northwest Hills, Hampshire Place, Brookwood Place and Sherwood Place.
Longview builder James Hunt said he served with Ferrell on the Longview Board of Realtors, and supported Ferrell in a race for city council and recommended his appointment to the city's Planning and Zoning Commission.
"He was an attorney who never practiced law to any extent. He was an intelligent, smart, wonderful individual," Hunt said.
"Ed was an astute individual, and he picked the right properties and did a tremendous job in developing them. He was a very conscientious individual as to the benefit to the city, as well as the profit motivation from the standpoint of a developer," Hunt said.
"He always was an understated individual, by choice. Edward did a lot of good things for this community that will never be known by the people, because he did not want it that way. He was quite private in a lot of ways, but he had a great heart," Hunt said.
