Philip ADAMS Obituary

ADAMS, Philip Neil

Nov. 23, 1942 - Dec. 30, 2021

Philip Neil Adams fell asleep peacefully in Jesus on December 30, 2021. Phil is the son of the late Donald F. and Anetta (Brewer) Adams, born on

November 23, 1942, at the family home in Wolfe County,

Kentucky.

In the early 1960's, Philip served in the U.S. Air Force 120 miles behind enemy lines as a Russian translator. He intercepted Russian communications during the Cold War and the information he gathered made up part of the Intelligence Briefing that ended up on President Johnson's desk the next morning.

After leaving the Air Force, he married his "Barbi", Barbara Boyer, had one son, Brent, and completed his Mathematics Degree at the University of Dayton. Philip worked with the first computer in the steel industry for Armco Steel and later helped to develop one of the first voice activated systems. He traveled the world, teaching Quality Management techniques to Fortune 500 Companies, before retiring as the Director of Quality for Armco Steel.

Philip walked with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, serving on the board of the first Presbyterian church of Middletown

before retiring to Florida.

Phil is survived by his wife of 56 years, Barbara Boyer, and their son: Brent (Pamela) Adams of Cincinnati, Ohio; granddaughter, Trinity Adams; sisters: Mary Banks and Marti Adams of Cincinnati, Ohio; and several dear cousins, nieces and

nephews.

Phil is preceded in death by his parents.

Visitations will be 11 a.m. on Saturday, January 8, 2022, at the Chapel at Woodside Cemetery, 1401 S. Woodside Blvd,

Middletown, Ohio, 45044, with the service beginning at 12 p.m. Interment follows in Woodside Cemetery. In lieu of

Pleasant, 225 Britton Lane, Monroe, Ohio 45050. Arrangements by Trinity Cremation Care, Carlisle.

I worked for Phil at ARMCO both in Ashland, KY and Middletown, OH. He was one of the funniest and smartest guys I have known. A good Ole KY boy.

Dear Barb, One of God's gentle giants has gone home. I will always remember Phil's gentle good humor and high intellect. John remembers his favorite stop when traveling with Phil was McDonalds for a burger and fries! Do know we hold you in our thoughts and prayers. Due to our compromised immune systems, we cannot hug you in person but know that a virtual hug is on it's way. Love, Nancy
