JOHN J. ADAMS

Thank you John for all the excitement & cheering for the Team over the years.. it is so greatly appreciated..

To the friends and family of Mr. Adams, It was with great sadness that I heard about his passing. I met Mr. Adams at Cleveland State University during spring semester 2009 when I took the Adaptive Physical Education class taught by Dr. Loovis on Monday evenings. Every spring semester after that, I have thought about contacting Dr. Loovis to see if I could stop by and say "hi" to John and the community members who were participants in the program. I thought about how much fun everyone was...

Rest in Peace my Friend. I never met John but he's been a piece of my life for over 40 years. So many memories were accompanied by the pounding of that Drum. It's great to know that he was not only an awesome drummer, but an exceptional Human Being. Prayers for friends and family.

The guardians games were not the same without John banging his drum. He sure will be missed for sure.At least he will be keeping Heaven amused. Sooo sorry for the families loss.

John and I met over 35 years ago at ohio bell in brecksville. We were friends for life. He spent time with my kids and I throughout the years. He will be missed. Love you dearly John Barb Pipper

Wow!! What an Icon and a loss to so many! John you will be missed. Not physically seeing you and your drum is so sad. When I look over where you sat, I will think of the wonderful drumming that got the fans riled up, and probably starting a wave!! We all will miss you, Thank you for being you! Shirley a fan!!

What a loss to Cleveland, to all the MLB fans! Rest in Peace and now you can beat forever in Heaven!

I remember growing up on the East side of Cleveland along with my late childhood buddy rooting for our home town Indians. Those were nostalgic memories watching Saturday matinee games during the spring and summer on WjW television with the late Harry Jones and Mud Cat Grant calling the play by play while listening to John Adams drum echoing in the distance. We didn't have good teams during that time but it didn't matter, we were Baseball junkies and enjoyed the experience. It sort of saddens...
