Peter was born February 28, 1944, in Charleston, South Carolina, son of the late James G. Edwards and Bertha Santo Edwards. He was a graduate of St. Andrews High School, the College of Charleston, and the School of Pharmacy at the Medical University of South Carolina. He was known for his excellent work ethic and knowledge as a pharmacist. During the first 20 years of his career, he worked with several retail and independently-owned pharmacies in the southeast, the VA Hospital, and his own consulting business. An instructor in the 1990s and 2000s, Peter was a mentor to countless students and is remembered for his caring guidance, bow ties and quick wit. He taught at the MUSC Family Medicine Pharmacy and was an associate professor in the Department of Pharmacy and Clinical Sciences. He earned a master of health service administration from the MUSC College of Health Professions, and served as chair of the Admissions Committee and course director for Pharmacy Law and Ethics, Pharmacy Care, and Pharmacy Management. And he was active in a number of organizations as a member and leader, including as president of both the South Carolina Pharmacy Association and the MUSC Pharmacy Alumni Association. A devoted father, husband and friend, he was an avid outdoorsman and gardener who fished often on his boat, Reel Medicine. Particularly in his retirement, he traveled with family and friends to favorite destinations including the southeast mountains, Florida Keys, the Maine coast, and sea cruises in the Caribbean and Europe. Peter is survived by his wife of 20 years, Laurie Fowler Edwards; one son, Peter Frankie Edwards, Jr. (Sandy Lang) of Charleston, SC; daughters, Amelia Edwards Schuller (Jason) of Kennesaw, GA, and Patricia Merritt Everette (Trey) of Mt.

Peter was the face of the St. Andrews High School Class of 1962 and of many organizations throughout his life. He was the epitome of a real friend and the best friend of many. Peter's warm outgoing personality always lit up a room and made everyone feel welcome and comfortable. Everyone who knew Peter has many fond memories. He will be greatly missed by family and his many friends.

Peter's positive outlook and sense of humor made him a pleasure to work with at the College. He was always so accommodating when I asked for help with rotations for residency-bound students, I gave him the nickname, "Bestest friend." His legacy will live on in the many pharmacists whose lives he touched.

We had the pleasure of working with Peter at the College of Pharmacy. He was always there with a smile and usually a joke or funny story. He really knew the ins and outs of pharmacy in South Carolina and was a tremendous asset to the College. He will be sorely missed but fondly remembered.

What a wonderful human being Peter was. I worked with Peter for many years at the college and he was always kind, supportive and witty. I considered him not only a colleague but a good friend as well. He will be greatly missed, but his tremendous impact on students, faculty and staff will live on.
