A sad loss

 Of course all of our losses are sad but this one got a bit close. Bob returned to the area after he retired. He got involved in the planning of our 50th class reunion and quickly became important to the committee. He  handled the Treasurer's job and along with John Runkle took the bull by the horn and went for it. Last February the committee had to make a hard decision to postpone our 50th for one year because of Covid-19. Bob was very supportive of our planning  50+1. I am sorry to report that Bob fell to the problem. The next few paragraphs are copied from Searcy Funeral in Enterprise, Alabama.

Robert (Bob) Nevin Adams, world citizen and US diplomat of Enterprise, AL passed away Tuesday, November 10, 2020.  He was a loving husband and father to his family. Full of energy, a passion for life and bringing laughter to those around him, Bob will be greatly missed by his family and friends.

Bob joined the US Army after graduating from Carroll High School in Ozark, Al in 1970. He proudly served his country for 2 years. Bob was recruited by the United States, State Department, and spent the next 40 years living and working in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa.

Funeral services will be held at 12:00 Noon, Monday, November 16, 2020 at First Baptist Church of Enterprise with Dr. Ben Bowden officiating and Searcy Funeral Home and Crematory directing.  The family will receive friends on Monday at the church from 11:00 AM until service time.
