Robert Edwards Obituary

Visit the Joseph A. Fluehr III Funeral Home, Inc. - Richboro website to view the full obituary.
Robert C. Edwards, of East Rockhill PA, formally of Richboro PA, died unexpectedly on Tuesday, October 21, 2025, at his home. He was 82.

He was the loving and devoted husband of over 61 years to Mary Eileen Bradley Edwards and father of the late Robert C. Edwards, Jr.

Born in Philadelphia, PA, he was the son of the late Ralph Edwards and Rosemay Schmidt Edwards.

A dedicated and hardworking man, Bob took pride in all that he did and was known for his integrity and perseverance, which was displayed during his long career in the Environmental industry. He was actively involved in his local community coaching Northampton Baseball and was a long-time Board Member of Union Cemetery. He had a deep appreciation for nature, often-finding solace and joy in the outdoors, camping, boating, fishing and hunting with his son. It did not matter if he was riding a tractor, cutting wood, gardening, or simply enjoying the beauty of his surroundings. Bob's favorite sayings were "Little by Little", "It is, what it is" and "Good, all good".

In addition to his beloved wife, Bob is survived by his two daughters, Brenda Riland and her husband David of Jamison, and Lynn Pannone and her late husband John Pannone of Jamison. His six grandchildren also survive him: Melanie, Jesse, Jordan, Gennaro, Giovanni, and Giovi, as well as a great-granddaughter, Maeve.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend his viewing on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, from 10:00 am until his funeral service at 12:00 pm, at the Joseph A. Fluehr III Funeral Home, 800 Newtown Richboro Road (at Holland Rd.), Richboro, PA 18954. His interment will follow in Union Cemetery, Richboro, where he will be laid to rest next to his son Bobby.
