Thomas "Tommy" Adams

Hi, my name is Anthony, and I wish to tell you about my father....... "Thomas" Tommy Adams.

Christmas morning as a young boy, I awakened to a whole battle scene of green plastic army men in full WWII combat gear, fully painted and hand-molded. While I was told Santa Claus had meticulously prepared this entire battle scene, I knew in my heart that my father had worked all night diligently to prepare my fondest Christmas memory. This memory truly embodies my father and the works he did as he walked with God to be not only the best father but my daddy.

This is difficult for my family to ask; we are a very proud family. However, pride has a toll I, Anthony Adams, wish to ensure my mother, Lois Adams, is taken care of in the way my father, Thomas Adams "Tommy," would have expected.

Below is a copy of his obituary so that you can also know the man I proudly call my father.
