Condolences & Tributes
Add A CondolenceMy deepest Sympathy to Steve and the family.
"Adams" was truly a unique man who was always respected, and who will always be Remembered for his Respect, which he evidenced throughout all of the time that I have known him... going back to our earliest days at our favorite "watering holes"... "An Officer and A Gentleman..."
My sincere condolences to the family at this time of loss. Even Jesus wept at the loss of a loved one. May you draw comfort from the scriptural promises at Acts 24:15 and Rev 21:3, 4.
We will miss you Uncle James. An uncle is a blessing, it means so many things, Words could never tell, the joy an Uncle brings. An Uncle is a bond of faith, that even time can't sever, A gift to last all of our lives, An Uncle is forever. (Irene Banks) Submitted with Love, Shia and Calvin Smith and Family.
