A hero to heroes passed away in Central Florida. Ed Ganster died on July 3th, a day before we celebrate average men and women rising above average and giving this nation everything they had to give.

If you are a veteran, in the military, police officer, firefighter or EMT, Ed Ganster is a name you know all too well. Ed and his wife Mary became heroes to the heroes honoring the men and women putting their lives on the line everyday. Each year they honored all of Florida's finest with a fabulous luncheon but that was not all.

OPERATION SAFETY 91's Founder, Edward Ganster, is celebrating his 4th of July in Heaven! Ed passed to the next life yesterday 7/3/2014 after a 34 day hospitalization in which he proved his faith in Jesus and his courage. God touched the lives of literally countless men and women Responders across America and beyond through the life and efforts of this one man.

Ed founded OPERATION SAFETY 91, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, more than six years ago, and planned and hosted six outstanding Annual Tribute Events in Orlando to honor Central Florida Responders: Firefighters, EMS, Law Enforcement, Corrections, and Military. Under his leadership and thanks to the generosity of the friends of OS91, to date approximately 673,000 Psalm 91 cards have been made and shipped to Responders in 44 States and 8 foreign countries free of charge.
