We loved Joe so much. We knew him when he came to Mandy's family events. You really had a wonderful son and we will miss him.

The Roelofsen Family would like to say how sorry we are for your loss, your son, Jody. Jody and Adam played soccer and baseball together while in grade school and middle school at Jenks. We remember picking up Jody for games and practices. He was truly a kind, gentle and soft spoken young man. Even as a young man, he put everything he had in him, in whatever he was doing. How proud you must be to have had him as your son. We will lift your family up in prayer. I pray God will give you strength during this time of loss and separation. Jerry and Deanna Adam and Jake Roelofsen Jenks, OK

I will always have good memories shooting pool with Joe. He usually always won, but it was always an enjoyment to play him. He was a very kind man and I don't think I ever saw him without a smile. May others have similar good memories like I have.

I trained Joe when he first started working at McGill's. Joe Adams was one of the most kind and sincere individuals I have ever met. His gentle spirit, sense of humor, and humble demeanor made him a real pleasure to be around. The world will be far less without him, but the heavens have gained the rarest of all angels. It was a true honor to have known him. My deepest sympathy and heart-felt condolences to his family and friends.
