He was the first-born of five to Samuel and Helen Adams on March 11, 1932.
He was passionate about his love of fishing in Lake Erie for Walleye and Perch, and deer hunting in West Virginia. He was an Army veteran and was lucky enough to spend time serving in Hawaii. He was a retired supervisor for TRW Valve Division after 37 years of service. Always a jack of all trades and master of all as he demonstrated by helping his family, friends and neighbors with projects.
Left to cherish dad’s memory are his children, Vicki (Kevin) Hayenga and Randall (Cathy) Adams; grandchildren, Jeffrey Sheets, Shannon (Michael) Dubin and Christopher Adams; great grandchildren, Lola and Piper; brother, John (Helen) Adams; and sisters, Janet (Joe) Ganis and Janie Long; and several nieces and nephews.
