What a great Tiger and man!


Dec 4, 2008, 10:23 AM

He was completely dedicated to Clemson professionally and (next to his family) personally.

I know he loved to see his Tigers once more handle the ##### before he died.

I often have the great fear that I will die the year before we win another NC or die the year after the ##### win one. ;)

RC's death marks the passing of one of our great Tigers.

The greatest in this state

and one of the greatest anywhere of all time. Schools have had to relocate over the years (i.e. Wake Forest)but NOT Clemson and NOT under R.C. Edwards. Speaks volumes!

A Great Loss

A great loss to the University and the community of Clemson "People". It's a shame Barker hasn't emulated President Edwards more.
As there will never be another Walter Cox - the same can be said for President Edwards - God Speed!

Along with Coach Howard and Bob Bradley, a true Clemson legend who will be greatly missed!

A great man who loved Clemson and the people of Clemson. It was an honor to attend when he was president!

Dr RC Edwards will be missed by many. May his soul have been in heaven an hour before the devil knew he passed from this world into God's kingdom. May that peace that surpasses all understanding be with his family at this time. May the Tiger's Roar echo at the departure of a true Clemson gentleman whose signature is permanently afixed to the pages of Clemson History. God have mercy on his soul and thank you for sharing RC Edwards with us.

They were both very visible on campus when I was there in '72-'76 and we all loved them. May they enjoy their eternity together.
