Paul Edwards
Leadership Award

From the first gathering of the Spring, 2007, Greater Tucson Leadership Adult Program, Paul Edwards stood out as the “nice” guy. He was the quiet one, with an easy smile and easy conversation.

Paul gave you his full attention with every encounter, and he never rushed a conversation or pushed an agenda. Paul never talked about himself or his accomplishments. He told us about his recurring melanoma only because he needed to miss a few classes for treatment, and he wanted us to know that he was only missing because he didn’t have a choice in the matter. Even though he was obviously uncomfortable and not feeling well during treatment, he would still come to class. He never complained, and only discussed his illness if he was asked. When he could no longer drive, he took a bus to class. He didn’t want to “bother” anyone by asking for a ride. Paul portrayed a sense of strength and determination when discussing his illness, and he was always appreciative of inquiries concerning his wellbeing.

Paul will be remembered by his classmates as the quiet leader, who was always a gentleman with a gentle spirit. He was a humble man, and someone who immediately put you at ease. He had a passion for life, his family and friends, good design and the Sonoran desert. A recipient of the Paul Edwards Leadership Award will be selected from each Adult Leadership Class.
