It is hard to believe that it has been so long since Stan's passing. I can still hear his voice as we discussed life and business. He was a fine gentleman.
Best wishes for his family - I hope this is a day of celebrating your remembrance of his full and wonderful life.

So hard to believe that it has been that long since we lost him. My thoughts and prayers go out to Linda and the family and know that he must be missed beyond belief. Such an accomplished person with so much to give. I will never forget him.

Wow, Stan popped into my head just yesterday (June 11, 2019). Hard to grasp that it's been a year. My continued sympathies to his family and many friends. Stan was a 'stand-up' guy and I miss him.

My heart goes out to you because of the loss of Stanley. Knowing that he was kindhearted tell's us how he'll always be remembered. Cherish those memories always.Take courage that God knows your suffering, and that he encourages you to go to him in prayer to ask for the strength, and courage to go on. 1 John 3:22 "Whatever we ask we receive from him, because we are observing his commandments...."

I will always remember the lighter things, like typing the rules for his poker games or lunch time skip-bo matches, with great fondness. Reading over what others have said about his character and charm... It is all true. He will be greaty missed.

To the family of Mr. Stan Adams. My prayers and condolences are with you. We lost such a young brilliant caring man. My mother has worked for HIS company he started in 1977 Adams and Associates for 28 years strong. He taught her so much of what she knows that is why she is one of the BEST at what she does. He will be missed by family, friends and his many colleagues.

I met Stan when I was 22 years old and dating their son Marc. I was lucky enough to have ended up him being my father in-law. Stan loved his wife, children and grandchildren. We would always have a great family dinner or go out for our favorite pizza. We had a wonderful and competitive time playing board games or cards. Stan was a man of integrity and character with a great sense of humor. I loved to see him laugh and his nose would scrunch up. I wish I could have been there to tell him how much I love him and how much he meant to me. I considered both Stan and Linda parents to me. Stan will be missed so much by so many. He was a great man! I love you Stan!

Stan,
We will miss you but never forget you. Your personal touch and sincerity has extended so much further then you could ever have imagined. You were a model person and someone that made life so much more enjoyable. It was great working with you and learning from you. You always took it to the next level and your smile remains ever present.

I met Stan several times. I will be forever gratful to him for believing in my sister Penny and taking her under his wing. He gave her the chance to learn on the job. She had a 10th grade education and a GED. She started by running blue prints between offices and the rest is history. She worked under Stan for 28 years and is still going strong. If it weren't for this great man, she wouldn't have become the talented engineer that she is today. RIP Stan. You will be missed by many. And thank you!!!

My late husband Don always enjoyed working with Stan on U of A, and Catalina Foothills School District projects and spoke of him often. My sincere condolences.

To Linda and Her Children,
I am a close friend of Stan's Brother, Kent. Kent and I became close friends and room-mates while we were undergraduate students at Kansas State University (~1958-1962). As time went by, I also came to know Kent's younger brother, Stanley. As I first knew Stan, he was an extremely pleasant, highly intelligent, very outgoing, and a most successful and promising mechanical engineering student. CLEARLY, as Stan's life and career progressed he proved to be a great Amercian, a great and most loving family man, a great humanitarian, and an outstanding mechanical engineer.
I am deeply saddened by Stan's passing, and I offer my deepest sympathies to Linda, and her children and grandchildren, as well as to, Kent and Ruth Elaine Adams and their children and their extended families. May God Bless and Keep All of You.

I can't believe a man of such energy, humor and kindness is gone so soon. It was always a pleasure to work on a project when Adams & Associates was on the team. Stan surrounded himself with great employees and mentored women as designers. Stan could diffuse a contentious job meeting with his wit and expertise, flashing that infectious smile. I never met his family but it was clear he was a great family man - his business was important but they were his priority. He touched so many lives and won't be forgotten....

Stan was one of the coolest classiest guys I have worked with. He really uplifted the construction team. He is dearly remembered and I wish his family well at this difficult time.
June 22, 2015
It's got to be at least 45 yrs since I first met Stan. I don't remember the circumstances, but he had left Russett to start his own business. I had started my business about the same time and when we would met over a project, we would discuss the trepidations we had over this new 'adventure'. We both survived and I hadn't seen Stan for quite a while until I was working with SFA about 7-8 yrs ago, and Stan came to discuss a new project. I was taken aback by his 'white' hair and then realized my hair had turned white as well. Stan was a good guy with a good sense of humor, and fun to work with. My sincere condolences to Linda and the family and know that Stan will be deeply missed. Goodbye old friend.

Linda and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Stan was a wonderful man, whom I enjoyed working for. He had such a great smile, and sense of humor. He also had such a wonderful memory and amazed me every day of his ability, commitment and desire to work at something he loved so much.
He will truly be missed, and I am so sorry that I am not able to attend the services. What a loss for Tucson.

Stan Adams made an impression on a lot of lives here in Tucson......including my own. Stan was my first "boss" after graduating college and I couldn't have been mentored by a more intelligent, professional, dedicated, honest, stand-up guy. He had a great spirit about him. AND, as most of you know, he was also deeply competitive.....whether it was regarding his business, telling a gut-busting joke or playing games of racquetball, golf or ping pong! Stan's presence will be missed here in the Tucson community but his imprint has been indelibly made. Here's to you Stan....and when you're playing a round of golf with the big guy....hope you get a hole-in-one (just let the big guy win!). Our thoughts and prayers go out to Linda and the family.

If it wasn't for Stan I would not be where I am today, he will be missed, he was a great engineer who taught many young people going thru the office how it should be done. I had the pleasure of working for him for 20 years.
I know all of the engineering community will miss him greatly.
I admired him for his principals, humor and great personalty.
My condolences to all of his family.

To Stan's Family:
We are so very sorry to hear of your loss. I have known Stan for years and worked with him on many projects. We also served on the Tucson Fire Code Review Committee together. He is a wonderful person and certainly the smartest man in his field I have ever met. He was always so good about helping others with any mechanical questions or issues. We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers and he will be greatly missed.
