What a beautiful writing obituary. A life well lived. A marriage of 65 years to one amazing Greek woman. Just a beautiful love story of late husband Earl and his beloved wife Irene. Really sweet!

Dear Irene and Family,
It was such a great honor and privilege to have known Judge Cantos(as we always called him). Although we couldn't spend as much time with him as we would have liked,we will always remember his wisdom, sense of humor, and his formidable presence wherever he went.
May we extend our deepest sympathy to all of you. May his memory be eternal.

My father was Judge Earl K Adams. (deceased in 1999) He served for many years on the bench with Judge Cantos. I know he had the greatest respect for Earl and considered him a great friend and kindred spirit in his devotion to fairness. He always spoke warmly and fondly of him. I know you will miss him greatly.
