ROBERT "BOBBY" EDWARDS JR.
YOUNGSVILLE -- Robert "Bobby" Edwards, Jr., 66, of 1695 Moore's Pond Road, died Tuesday, January 26, 1999 at Rex Hospital. He was born in Wake County and was the son of the late Robert and Alma Perry Edwards.

At the young age of 14, when his father died suddenly, he became a farmer and helped his mother raise his younger brother and his sisters. He was an employee of Westinghouse Meter Corp./ABB and retired with 36 years of service.
He loved nature and the outdoors. His main hobby was gardening and watching things grow.
