Harold Adams, 'beloved" figure at U of L, dead at 46
By DEBORAH YETTER
Staff Writer
A top University of Louisville official was found dead in the back yard of his home in Henry County Sunday night, .........., said Henry County Coroner James Pollard.
Harold L. Adams, 46, the assistant vice president for student life at U Of L, was pronounced dead by Pollard at 8:15 p.m. Sunday at Adams' farm in northern Henry County. Pollard said Adams appeared to have died about four hours earlier.
Yesterday, friend and colleagues said they were stunned by the news and said Adams' death will be a major loss to the university, where he worked for 26 years.
"He was a beloved figure at the University of Louisville," U of L President Donald Swain said. "The students loved him, the faculty respected him. He was our dear friend."
Adams worked with students and student groups, including the student newspaper, fraternities, sororities and cheerleaders, as part of his job. He had recently been assigned temporarily to the athletic department, but was returned to his previous duties on July 1, The Associated Press reported.
Adams was well-known and well liked, said U of L Student Government President Angela McCormick.
"This is going to be a big blow to all students," McCormick said. "I don't know of any student who really didn't love him and admire him a lot."
Adams first came to U of L as a student almost 30 years ago. He earned degrees in both education and law from the university. Born and raised in Henry County, Adams lived on a small farm adjoining that of his grandparents, said Dale Adams, assistant vice president for student development of U of L and a friend of Adams.
Dale Adams, who is distantly related to Harold Adams, said yesterday they had been friends for about 10 years and described him as an outgoing, cheerful individual who was dedicated to U of L and its students.
"If there ever was a Mr. U of L., that was Harold Adams," he said.
Yesterday, U of L officials opened the Red Barn, a student activities center on campus, and called in several members of the university's counseling staff to help people deal with their grief as word spread of the death, Dale Adams said.
Nearly 100 people had stopped in by about 4 p.m. yesterday, he said.
.
He said he will issue a final ruling on the death in several weeks, after he receives the results of an autopsy performed yesterday at Humana Hospital-University. .
Adams was a member of the Old Kentucky Home Boy Scouts Council, the Sportsman Supper Club, the Kentucky Bar Association, the U of L Letterman's Club and Turners Station Baptist Church. He was a member and past president of the Campbellsburg Lion's Club, and a district governor of the Kentucky Lion's Club.
Survivors include his wife, the former Lois Carson, of Port Royal; a son, Josh Adams, of Port Royal; his parents, Robert and Joe Daunhauer of Louisville; and his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Lyndon Chilton of Turners Station.
The funeral will be at 11 a.m. EDT Thursday at New Castle, Ky., Christian Church, with burial in Port Royal, Ky., Cemetery.
Visitation will be at Prewitt Funeral Home in New Castle after 4 p.m. tomorrow and at the church after 10 a.m. Thursday.
The family requests that expressions of sympathy take the form of contributions to the Harold L. Adams Scholarship Fund, care of the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs at the University of Louisville.
