Donald Adamson, Jr. Obituary

February 14, 1938 - November 4, 2010

Don, born in Burbank, California, was younger brother to sister, Beverly Veintimilla and older brother to Darrell Adamson. The Adamson brothers have been highly respected general contractors for over 30 years. Always a loving family man, he is survived by six children, Valerie Adamson, David Adamson, Suzie Beck, Donielle Adamson (Byron), Marisa O'Connor (Kyle), and Lewis Schulz; seven grandchildren, Jasyn, Erin, Rylie, Ryan, Cody, Angelyn, and Cheyenne; and three great grandchildren, Morgan, Oakley, and Rosalie. Don and his loving and devoted wife, Jackie, looked forward each summer to camping with as many of the family that could be gathered for as long as possible. As an active member of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church and a strong Christian servant, Don generously shared his considerable talents and wisdom with many, creating lasting friendships. During his illness, Don and Jackie were constantly surrounded with love, prayer and service. The family is sincerely grateful for your many kindnesses and courtesies. In lieu of flowers, please donate to: The Lustgarten Foundation, 1111 Stewart Avenue, Bethpage, New York 11714, www.lustgarten.org. A Memorial Service will be held at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, 1350 W 25th Street, San Pedro, California 90731 on Saturday, November 13, 2010 at 2:00 pm.

It is with deep sadness that I acknowledge Don's passing. I only met him once, but it is very obvious from reading the other messages that he was a wonderful, loving, giving, and righteous person. Jackie, may your many fond memories sustain you and the family during this most difficult period of time. Being a man of God we know that Don is in a better place, and free of pain and suffering.

Love,
Judy
