Bob L. Adams, 76, passed away on April 1, 2015 at his home in Draper.
He was born December 16, 1938 in Roland, Arkansas to John D. and Margarette (Findley) Adams.
Bob grew up in Dragerton and Price. He joined the Navy in 1953 and spent eleven years in active duty aboard an aircraft carrier and many "tin cans."
While in the Navy, he was able to put his baseball talent to good use by playing in the position of catcher for the Navy team.
Bob did three tours in Vietnam and was proud of his military service.
He worked until retirement for several trucking companies as a driver, where he had an exceptional safety record.
Bob married Barbara Johnson in 1969 in Price. They were happily married for forty-six years.
Bob was a member of the Teamsters Union Local 222.
He was baptized Catholic on October 8, 2011, and loved his Catholic faith.
He enjoyed hunting, fishing, computers, and teasing his grandkids and spoiling them with a large bag of M&Ms or a 10-dollar bill, which was always at the ready.
You could find him watching western and military movies with a big bowl of buttered popcorn, a Pepsi, and a begging dog at his feet.
Bob always had a cup of coffee in his hand and another pot brewing; he was very particular about his coffee… just black and "none of that frou-frou stuff."
Bob is survived by his spouse, Barbara, of Draper; his daughter, Michelle (Jim) Adams Walker of Chanhassen, Minnesota; his son, John D. Adams II, of Price; his grandchildren, Jastin Adams, Meaghan Walker, Andrew Walker, and Jashelle Adams; sisters, Janet (Charles) Hightower and Gena (Bob) Collins; father-in-law, Papa Joe Johnson; sister-in-law, Yvonne (Frank) Olson; brothers-in-law, Joey Johnson and Duke Johnson; and many nieces and nephews. He is also survived by his constant companion, Tiko, the shih-Tzu. Bob was preceded in death by his parents; sister, Brenda Adams Ulrich; mother-in-law, Martha Johnson; and sister-in-law, Connie Johnson.
A Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Tuesday, April 7, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. in Notre Dame de Lourdes Catholic Church, 210 North Carbon Avenue, Price. A Vigil service will be held at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, April 6, 2015 at Mitchell Funeral Home, 233 East Main Street, Price. The family will receive friends at the funeral home on Monday and one hour prior to the services on Tuesday.
Committal services will follow the Mass in the Cliffview Cemetery, 2100 East 800 North, Price.
The family will be greeting friends and relatives after the burial at the Notre Dame Parish Hall.
