Robert C. Edwards, 83, of Liberty Township, Ohio, passed away on Wednesday, July 3, 2024, at Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton, Ohio.

He was born in Butler on April 26, 1941, to parents Harry and Roberta (Easley) Edwards, both of whom preceded him in death.

Bob was a 1959 graduate of East Brady High School and went on to earn his bachelor's degree from Penn State. He worked at Armco/AK Steel as an electrical engineer, retiring after 45 years of service.
