Wish I had known about this page sooner. Growing up, I'd always watch Tim play games on his PC or play his guitar. Given how my life has progressed with an interest in tech, music, and now aviation, I'd like to think he had at least a small part in it. Still miss ya, Uncle Tim. I think we'd have plenty to talk about these days.

I am so sorry to find out about Tim and I wish to express my condolences to his family and other friends.
I first met Tim when I hired him at Bell Industries. Tim's knowledge made in him an invaulable find for the project he was assigned. One of the nicest people I have ever met.
From working withg him I discovered he was learning guitar. Playing guitar myself, Tim and I got together on more than one occasion to play music together. A very fast learner of the guitar.
Tim, you are greatly missed by all of your family and friends.

Tim: You will be loved and forever missed. You were one of my favorite nephews. You could always break me up into laughter. I did not see enough of you. You are part of the Adams legacy. Take care, My Dear One, I hope I see you again one day. Your Aunt Darth

This has taken me almost a week to write... Tim was my best friend and old co-worker from back when we worked at America Home Funding. I taught Tim how to play guitar, and Tim taught me everything about computers and I.T. stuff. Tim was like a brother to me and the shock of his passing is still with me. My heart goes out to Tim's family...

My condolences to Tim's family. I had the pleasure of working with Tim when I moved to VA in 1993. He and I were partners for a while at RAA. He was a good partner and a fun guy. Rest in Peace Tim.

To The Adams Family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I worked with Tim "Snack Pack" Adams for many years at RASI. Being a fellow New Hampshirite, we were off to a quick start. I loved his sense of humor, ability to laugh, talk,wow was he smart, and his love for anything 7-11!!! He was a great man, friend and co-worker.

Tim was a special person. He went out of his way every day to help us with our computer problems. I enjoyed talking to him on my lunch breaks, as he always made me laugh. He will be missed so much by the West Mark One employees. My prayers are we his family.

My Deepest Sympathy to the family you left behind. I'm proud to say that I met Tim 20 years ago, while he and his family lived in NH. I had the privilage of having them as neighbors. Tim always had a smile on his face and always put aside what he was doing to hang out with his brother Pat and I. He will be missed.. Erica L. (Pelham, NH)

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Tim was a blessing and a gift from God, who transformed and made such a tremendous impact in everyone’s life. I am so thankful and grateful that Tim will always be part of us for he has left an everlasting print in our hearts. He leaves behind a legacy of love, excellence, integrity, leadership, knowledge and wisdom.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Psalm 23 (Amplified Bible)
A Psalm of David.
1THE LORD is my Shepherd [to feed, guide, and shield me], I shall not lack.
2He makes me lie down in [fresh, tender] green pastures; He leads me beside the still and restful waters.(A)
3He refreshes and restores my life (my self); He leads me in the paths of righteousness [uprightness and right standing with Him--not for my earning it, but] for His name's sake.
4Yes, though I walk through the [deep, sunless] valley of the shadow of death, I will fear or dread no evil, for You are with me; Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort me.
5You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with [a]oil; my [brimming] cup runs over.
6Surely or only goodness, mercy, and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life, and through the length of my days the house of the Lord [and His presence] shall be my dwelling place.

I am very sorry for the loss of Tim. He was a wonderful caring person that would do his best to help you with a problem. He looked out for his team, he cared for his customers and he always had a positive perspective on his work and life.
My condolensces to the family and especially his daughter. You have lost a wonderful father, son, brother and friend. We understand your sorrow. I pray that with time the pain will become bearable and when you think of him you will remember only the good times.

Never a dull moment with Tim around. One of my favorite memories is of the "talking dog". (Mamma...Mamma...) The guided tour of "America's Stonehenge", growing up on Almond Street.
I am heartbroken over his passing, and will never forget all the fun times.
My deepest sympathy to the family...Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.

Tim and I spent many a dark night on the streets of Richmond. We spent over a year working togeather as Medic's for Richmond EMS. I can always remember no matter how bad it got we found a way to laugh. When I have a bad day still today I can think back to those times, and chuckle.
- Tim you will be missed, but you will stay with many of us in memory.

Tim was a very sweet and gentle man. He came up to my desk to fix my scanner about 2 weeks ago, he went out his way to get it working, we laughed and joked as he was fixing my machine. I am going to miss him very much. My thoughts and prayers will be with his family in their time of beavrement. Tim is in a better place now, looking down and protecting you. May you find comfort from the Lord.
