He was born November 27th, 1923, to Robert and Helen Edwards, who preceded him in death. Bob went on to proudly serve his country during WWII, where he was stationed in Guam with the Army Strategic Air Force.
When we remember Bob, we remember a man of great character who taught us the important life lessons. However, as wise as he was, he was far from serious. Bob never missed the opportunity to make a joke followed by that big unforgettable, belly laugh.
Bob had many reasons to be proud of the life he lived, but nothing was more important to him than his family. You cannot think of Bob without thinking of his loving, steadfast wife of 71 years, Dolores “Jane” Edwards who survives him. Everyone who knew Bob and Jane aspired to have a love like theirs. They served as a perfect example of marriage to family and friends, never losing their spark.
He was a wonderful father, gentle grandfather, brother, and uncle. He is preceded by the death of his sister, Joann Coakley. He is survived by his son Mark Edwards (wife Stephanie Edwards) and daughter Deborah Switzer (husband David Switzer), granddaughters Danielle Edwards (Husband Justin Rice) and Katelin Edwards, Nephew Jay Coakley (Wife Jackie Coakley) and great niece Megan Cook (Husband Brad Cook and son Jack Cook)
