Bruce Edwards

This message is to Joan and the children.

My name is Steve Briley, and my wife's name is Terrie. We knew you and Bruce during my years in Grad school at BGSU 1981-1984.

Bruce was a humble and gracious friend that i could always count on for advice and help, when needed, as I was going thru some tough years in the Math program.

I'll always remember he and I playing basketball on a BGSU league - we were called "Aslin's Warriors" - it was a bonding, i guess. ...

I just learned of Bruce's "going further up and further in". I had the opportunity to interact with Bruce occasionally over a number of years and felt he epitomized something he talked about in Lewis, the seamless integration of his faith and scholarship. My prayers are with Joan and the family.

Bruce was a great man, and behind him was a great woman! Our love and prayers go out to Joan and the rest of the family.

I send condolences to Joan and family upon the death of Bruce Edwards, husband and father. His service to BGSU was deep and wide, extending to the Africana Studies Program while I was director. When the program needed faculty that was knowledgeable about the subject matter of Africana Studies, he graciously accepted an invitation to teach courses and serve on the Africana Studies Executive Committee. His embrace of students from Africa will long be remembered by those whom he served and by...

Bruce was a great friend and a mentor to me and to many students across the globe. My prayers go out to his family.
Best. Jeff Grilliot

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Bruce, a valued friend and colleague in Africana Studies Program at BGSU - Apollos

Dr. Edwards... You were a great teacher, friend, a mentor, humble, and a great man of God. You cared about our issues as foreign students... You listened to us ... And you gave many foreign students opportunity to study at Bowling Green University and other universities. I can remember the many discussions we had about education, Kenya, Africa, and Jesus. I will forever have you in my memories and live your teachings. God gave you to us, God took you.. You are in good hands. RIP prof....

I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. I met Dr. Edwards at his C.S. Lewis workshop in Willow and his presence--his knowledge, energy and generosity will be greatly missed in our community. Peace be with you.
