Not sure what to say?

To the Bruce Edwards Family, It was a pleasure to know Bruce out on TOUR. He displayed such honor and
courage. Bruce loved the game beyond the prize. May God heal every corner of your soul.

We were patients of Dr. Edwards, in Wethersfield, CT. As we were frequently in his office, we often heard about Bruce's career and how proud the doctor was of him.
We are so saddened by the loss of your son. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
The Fox family

We love you Bruce, and Marsha you are an angel. God's gift to Bruce for the past 2 years, thank you for taking care of Bruce, loving him and sharing his life with all of us.
The funeral was a celebration of Bruce's life, right down to the Eagles jerseys some of us had the pleasure to wear in honor of the love he had for those darn Philly teams.

God bless, someday we will again walk the fairways (of heaven) together!!

My deepest sympathy and prayers go out to the Edward's family. The world needs more people like Bruce, he's a true prototype. A genuine inspiration for all. Heaven received a wonderful soul.

It was indeed a great pleasure in knowing Bruce.And a great sorrow to hear of his passing. Always a kind word for all, I was working in the pro shop at the old Dunes Golf Course when I met Bruce. all I can say is he is in a better place.

We were great fans. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

Wednesday night, April 7th, I purchased the book CADDY FOR LIFE on a whim and started reading it. Thursday, I received an email from my boyfriend advising me that Bruce Edwards had died that morning.

My parents always stressed that we should each strive to "work"...

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Edwards family.

I too grew up with Bruce's dad as my dentist in Wethersfield. For as long as I can remember, the stories of Bruce made me want to caddy. I started as Bruce did working weekends at Wethersfield Country Club, then a few Greater Hartford Opens. Then for 3 years in the late 1990's on the LPGA and Senior Tour. I had the great fortune to meet Bruce in Arizona and see him several times after that encounter. The last time I saw him caddy was last year at the Players Championship for John Cook. It was...
