Obituary - Bob Edwards
Bob sadly passed away in Ashburton on Monday 29th June, following a long illness.
He was born and raised in Mid-Canterbury and loved the region, especially Ashburton where he made his home. He married his lovely wife Alison at the age of 24 and by age thirty he had two children, Tim and Jeannine. His early working life was in the rural sector. He worked in his own agricultural contracting business, and then moved to Mid Canterbury Transport before pursuing the love of his working life, the insurance industry in 1979, under the National Mutual banner.
Bob ran a very successful life insurance business built on the back of his rural experience and his rugged determination to succeed.
In 1995 Bob was voted onto the National Mutual Advisers Association board and spent the next seven years on the board the last two as President. In 2009 he returned onto the Board (the AXA Advisers Association) until his health forced him to resign in 2013. In 2012 Bob received the highest award any organisation offers, Life Membership. Few could argue that no one more than Bob deserved this, for his outstanding contribution to the Association and its members.
