Windsor Johnston reported that Bob Edwards had died on Feb. 10, 2024, from a bout with metastatic bladder cancer and "a heart ailment".

Windsor later took to Facebook to express her grief and words of gratitude to both Bob and loved ones offering their condolences.

She wrote, "The world of broadcasting has lost a behemoth. Bob was an absolute master at his skill and left an indelible mark on the field of journalism. He was a stickler for even the tiniest of details and lived by the philosophy that 'less is more.' He helped paved the way for the younger generation of journalists who continue to make NPR what it is today.

Speaking on their marriage, Windsor posted, "Bob was the absolute love of my life. He was an extremely loving and supporting partner, not to mention my greatest admirer. He and I were together for 14 years and just recently celebrated 12 years of marriage. It's unbearable to think of a life without him, but until we meet again, I'll continue to listen for that beautiful voice in my ear wishing me luck and telling me to 'break a lip.'"

Our deepest condolences to Windsor Johnston and Bob Edwards' loved ones.
