I remember going to Mr. Edwards for help in math. He wasnt my math teacher, but he could explain how math worked when the other math teachers confused me. I will always be grateful for his kindness and his willingness to make math comprehensible to everyone. Even someone elses student.

Best teacher I ever had. He gave me a chance, and had a huge impact on my life. I was in Jr. High and he let met attend his Trigonometry class. As a misfit skater kid, who also enjoyed math, he gave me a shot. I later took his Calculus class and passed the AP exam as a Jr. at Granite High School. I still don't know how he could draw a perfect circle, but enjoyed seeing do it. His a legend to me. I ran into many years after High School at REI and his gentle kindness hadn't changed. He was as excited to see me then, as when I first attended his class as a 14 year old punk. Thank you Mr. Edwards for giving me a chance. Your class gave me the confidence to succeed at many things throughout my life. I'll never forget your example. Your passing, is a great loss to the world. May you find peace and love in the Heavens. Until we meet again.
