Monifieth master joiner John Alexander Edwards has died at the age of 83.
Born in Forfar, Mr Edwards was educated at Forfar Academy before he worked with Coventry Tool and Gauge in 1942.
Unable to secure an apprenticeship with them, he joined a local joinery firm becoming a master of his trade.
He opened his own firm J. A. Edwards Joiners Contractors and Funeral Undertakers in Monifieth’s North Union Street in 1956 and worked there till he retired in 1991.
His wife Jean, who he met in 1955 and married in 1957, sadly passed away in 2002.
Mr Edwards was a keen pursuer of outdoor activities such as shooting, fishing and gardening.
He also continued the family tradition of bee keeping.
Mr Edwards is survived by children John, Sheena, Gillian and Calum, four grandchildren and one great-granddaughter.
