Sam Robert Adkins, born Jan 26, 1932 in Berwyn, Illinois, joined his sons Grant and Lloyd with our Lord March 7, 2005. He is survived by his wife Jeddy. Sons, Robert of Dripping Springs, Tx. and Brad of Chandler Arizona, by daughter Lorrie Allen of Chandler Az., twin brother Bill and eight grandchildren. Sam served in the U.S. Army during the Korean war and after college at the University of New Mexico moved to Prescott, Az. in 1962. He was very involved in the Lions, Jaycees, and Rotary clubs. He started in the title industry in 1965 and relocated to Scottsdale in 1968. With his growing family he became a driving force with the YMCA Indian Guides. Over the next 35 years he became the "man to see" for any type of commercial escrow transaction. In 1978 he was voted "Mr. Escrow of Arizona." He was greatly respected and will be dearly missed. His jokes and love of novelty toys always brought a chuckle to those who knew him. His last wish was to be remembered for who he was and he asked that there be no services. Arrangements by Messinger Indian School Mortuary.
