Hank Adams

Harold Leonard Adams , Jr. "Hank"   Hank Adams, our loved son, brother, uncle and friend, died Monday, June 14, 2004 from diabetic complications.  Born September 13, 1954 in Salt Lake City, UT to Harold L. and Renee Crosby Adams. Member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, attended schools in Rexburg, ID, Ogden, and Salt Lake City, graduating from Skyline High School, Class of '72. Married Janell  Griffin in 1984. She passed away in 1992. Hank's great sense of humor, fun and true gratitude to family, friends, and caregivers for any kindness or service were his great gifts. Hank was an amateur artist, whose paintings expressed his love of the mountains, canyons, and streams of Utah.  He loved to fish and hike. After losing his sight in 1985, he became an avid CB'er. His many CB friends will miss "RT". We thank Hank's many doctors, nurses and caregivers for their sustaining help during his life.
