My prayers go out to the family of Clifford Adams. Cliiford was one of the those rare classmate and friend that everyone knew and admired for both his talents and personality. He warmly touched all that came in contact with him. All of us will miss him much.

Another "great" from Trenton Central High School, class of 1970, has gone on from labor to reward. I remember those fond days and life long memories. To the family, continue to walk in faith and prayer.Hold on to Gods promise- he is your strength in your time of need! Because we knew you, we have been changed for good. Your work is done. Rest in God's eternal embrace.

His soul, spirit, and incredible talent were direct gifts from heaven. He played seemingly impossible passages on his trombone. God has called him home to play, leaving us with a wondrous legacy. Play well my friend, and enjoy heavens' "jam session"...

Hey Dad oxoxo

God Bless you my brother Cliff.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I will always have the fondest memories of Cliff. I can remember listening to him practice in the very early 70's; TRULY a GREAT LOSS...

There was never a time when I talked with Clifford and was not inspired. There was never a time when I saw Clifford ( on stage, TV or just in passing ) and was not inspired. Clifford touched and inspired many of us with words, music, his presence and his SMILE. Although Clifford is gone physically, his spirit is still here with us and serves to inspire us even more.

Rest In Peace Brother for your battle is now over.

Rip mr.cliff.....thank you for great music and being the best trombone player ever
