Tom was one of the sweetest-natured people I have ever known, as was his son, Aaron. Tom was often in my homeroom classes and was part of a group of kids who played euchre and pinochle at one another's homes while we were in high school. Tom's family was as nice as he was. I also had the pleasure of having Aaron as a student at Newark High School -- a very artistic young man who planned to go to Antioch.

Tom Adams was a friend to everyone that he meet. Tom and I were in Scouting together and Tom was an Eagle Scout. I
remember all the camping trips that we went on together and all the summer camps that we spent together. Tom was a leader in every since of the word. He showed his leadership in scouting and in track and field events.
Tom will be missed by all that knew him.
