EDMONDS, J. DANIEL
Dr. J. Daniel Edmonds, 61, born and raised in Germantown, Tenn., died 
Monday, July 26, 2010, at his home in Tickfaw. He was born Monday, July 11, 
1949. During his education, he graduated from Vanderbilt University, 
Memphis State University and later from the Southern College of Optometry 
in 1979. He moved to southern Louisiana in 1981, and enjoyed being a 
self-employed optometrist in the Hammond area for more than 29 years. As an 
optometrist, the healing hand he offered to his patients extended far 
beyond their optometric needs. As a proud father, husband, family member, 
and friend, he was very dedicated to the people whom he loved. Those 
touched by his life continue to value his kindhearted humor, genuine 
concern for others, and passion for life. Surviving are his daughter, 
Jeanette M. Edmonds; mother, Jeanne Hutchison Edmonds; and three brothers, 
Jim Edmonds, Dr. David Edmonds and John Edmonds. He was preceded in death 
by his wife, Sherry Street Edmonds; and father, Dr. James B. Edmonds. 
Friends will be received at Harry McKneely & Son Funeral Home, Hammond, on 
Friday, July 30, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Visitation continues Saturday, July 
31, from 9 a.m. until the funeral service in the funeral home chapel at 
10 a.m. Interment in Wetmore Cemetery, Ponchatoula. An online guest book is
