James Adams

Jim was the best...After teaching with him for almost 20 years, we had some great times......crabbing, golfing and playing cards at the cabin of Ralph Davis....who ever did pay for Ralph´s green fees anyway? I loved the man....and miss him every day..

So sorry to hear of Jim’s passing and that we weren’t able to stay in contact the last few years. What great fun we had all through the 60’s and 70’s .

Mr Adams was my absolute favorite teacher! Went to SHS from 1992 to 1994 and out of all the teachers I had, he stands out the most. Not only was he a great teacher, but knew how to connect to the kids. I loved his humor and when he'd pass me in the hall with a wink. Prayers to his family.

Sad to hear he is gone. One of my all time favorite teachers. We called him "Jungle Jim". I had him as a crafts teacher my sophomore year, 1966-67.

Coach Adams was the best basketball coach I ever had. He combined skills with humor and compassion. All the players loved and respected him. A great man.

I enjoyed playing basketball for coach Adams. He taught us great defensive fundamentals. He also had a wonderful sense of humor. It was because of Mentors like Mr. Adams and Keith Gilbertson that I also became a coach. Thank you coach!

We have known Jim and his family for many years...He was a great friend... we shared many good times and lots of fun on and off the golf course and crabbing....One of his very special times was when he was on the beach and digging for razor clams...He was a great friend.. a kind and loving person..he will always remain dearly in our fondest memories ....
