“Deputy Mayor Edwards was a great council man and even stronger Deputy Mayor. He knew his role and executed it flawlessly,” Bellbrook Mayor Michael Schweller said. “His contributions to the city are numerous. Those of us in the city who worked with him knew his focus as a councilman was to support the citizens of Bellbrook and to continue to make it an even better place for our citizens to call home. Deputy Mayor Edwards will be greatly missed, but not forgotten. His contributions to the city will always be there for our citizens.”
