Today, we lost Bob Edwards, a guiding light in journalism.
His voice, a comforting presence in our lives, leaves behind a silence filled with memories. Bob’s legacy is not just in the stories he told, but in the hearts he touched.
He smiled as we played the well wishes, loving memories and messages of healing that you all so kindly took the time to record for him,” she wrote. “A tear slid down his face as he listened to those familiar voices under the bed of the old Morning Edition theme.”
He was an extremely loving and supporting partner, not to mention my greatest admirer,” she wrote, adding, “It’s unbearable to think of a life without him, but until we meet again I’ll continue to listen for that beautiful voice in my ear, wishing me luck and telling me to ‘break a lip.’”
Farewell, Bob, your spirit and warmth will forever be missed and remembered.
