To the Family of "FAX" ,
I have been out of town and was saddened to hear of his death. He was truly loved by our family. He was my dad Johnny Edwards' basketball manager at TWC and adopted as her own by my mom, "Lady" Edwards when she was hostess of old Mulkey Hall. My brother,Jack and I were young 'uns at this time; but remember how much fun he was to us. He was loved by all at TWC and certainly left his mark. Mom and Dad surely would want me to send their condolences to the family. God Bless you all and God Bless Fax.
Sincerely,
Wanda Edwards Graduate of TWC 1954

Fax was a true individual, one of a kind. His wide-ranging interests included a passion for basketball (especially the San Antonio Spurs), music, business and so much more. He was a good pal to my Dad, Cecil Dulle, and he was a good friend to me. I'll miss his letters and newspaper clippings, and I'll miss his friendship.
