I had the privilege and pleasure of working for Mr. Edwards. What a special treat it was to have known him. When we are constantly bombarded by the negative, we are so fortunate to meet a role model. I will always remember Mr. Edwards as just that a wonderful role model. I will remember him, and I will celebrate having known him.
My deepest sympathy to all his family.
