Jerry D. Adams, 67, of Bloomington, died Thursday, February 17, 2005, at his winter residence in North Ft. Myers, Florida. He was born March 13, 1937, in Monroe County, the youngest child of Guy S. and Mary (Deckard) Adams.

Jerry graduated from Bloomington High School in 1955 and was a member of the National Honor Society, was one of eight members of the Madrigal Singers and a member of the wrestling team. He continued to enjoy singing and setting at his children's weddings, and sang at many church services and funerals.

During his working life, Jerry was a stone draftsman and was most recently general manager at Architectural Stones Sales. From 1976-1981, he was very proud that he helped with the design on buildings from Washington, D.C., to Arizona, including the Indianapolis Museum of Art.
