Don P. Edwards

He was preceded by his parents Viola Ruth and Raymond Theodore “Ted” Edwards, great-granddaughter Ella Dalton, and dear friend Gilbert Sermersheim.

Don was retired as an automaker for Ford Motor Company – Louisville Assembly Plant. His career spanned over 30 years, with a side gig as the original soft drink vending man at LAP. His hobbies included working on his home/property, fishing, golfing, and assuring the happiness of his wife.
