Charlie Adams passed away on September 27th, 2020. He will be laid to rest next to his beloved wife in their family graveyard at Bethel Church. Not one to waste a day, his request to be buried in his work overalls with a good 9/16 wrench and his favorite pair of blue handled channel locks will be honored, as he was sure they may need a good mechanic in heaven.
Drafted into the Korean War, Charlie spent 9 months on the front lines at Heartbreak Ridge. Charlie saved all his military pay to buy a new car when he returned to base in Colorado. While racing back home, he ran from a police car chasing him just so he could “see if the car could do what they told me”.
He enjoyed a long and happy marriage to Mary Adams and together they raised two children, Bill and Peggy. They spent their free time riding motorcycles with the Honda Gold Wings club and traveled over 100,000 miles together.
Charlie was a devoted grandfather of three and great grandfather to one. He spent the last 7 months of his life with his oldest granddaughter Kelly and her husband Jason. While they cared for Charlie, they all shared many laughs, watched a lot of car shows, and worked together to befriend the household kitten.
Charlie would like to remind everyone to keep their oil changed because oil is cheaper than parts, and to be kind to one another.
