Mr. Edwards was a member of the Antique Automobile Club of America and was a founding member of House of Faith Ministries now known as South Point Community Church of Chocowinity. His faith made him an inspiration not only to his family but to his many friends. All who knew him benefited from his unique ability to entertain with the numerous stories and tales of his long and loving life.
