Ralph Adams, son of George R. Adams and Gretchen Lee Adams, was born in Decatur, Illinois, on Sept. 6, 1929. He was baptized in the name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit at Redeemer Lutheran Church. Ralph joined together in holy matrimony to Faye Cooper Grom on July 3, 1971
Jesus called Ralph home to eternal life on Dec. 3, 2025, at the age of 96.
He is survived by his wife, Faye; seven children, Linda (John) Templeton, Mountain Home, Walter (Carol) Grom, Streamwood, Ill., Sandie (Michael) Ostrander, Mountain Home, Karl (Launa) Grom, Gaffney S.C., Ralph (Cheryl) Adams Jr., Anderson S.C., Deborah (Dan) McCarthy, Gurnee Ill. and Robert Grom, Sharon, Wis.; 25 grandchildren; 55 great-grandchildren; and 10 great- great-grandchildren, as well as several nieces and nephews.
He is predeceased by his parents; sister Marian Wagner; daughter Debra Ostrander; grandsons Mark Adams, Houston Brinegar and Jeffrey Webster.
Ralph really enjoyed the outdoors especially time on the lake fishing and taking adventures with his wife in their fifth wheel. Ralph had other hobbies like working with wood and creating birdhouse and feeders and was a member of the Mountain Home Woodcarvers. He was a pilot and a member of the Waukegan Airport.
He was often found at the donut shop enjoying time with his buddies. He also loved playing an array of card games with friends and family which was a regular occurrence for Ralph.
Blessed are the dead who die in the LORD. The Lord gives and the Lord takes away. Blessed be the name of the Lord, we give thanks to God our Father through Jesus Christ, our Lord, for our brother in Christ, Ralph Adams.
A visitation will be held at noon, Thursday, Dec. 11, 2025, with services to follow at 1 p.m. at Redeemer Lutheran Church.
