Publish in a newspaper

David Adams passed away Saturday, November 8, peacefully at his home at the age of 87. David was a proud veteran of the U.S. Navy and served on the Coral Sea in the late 1950's. He was born in Lake Elsinore, California and joined the Navy after graduating from Lake Elsinore High School. David worked at Alumax Mill Products in Riverside for 37 years first as an equipment mechanic, then as a supervisor. After retiring, he and his wife Linda moved to Arizona, settling first in Sahuarita and then Green Valley where they loved the people, the weather and wide-open views of the valley. They both enjoyed restoring classic cars, camping, fishing and being regulars at several of the local restaurants. David is survived by his wife Linda, 3 children and 6 grandchildren. The family would like to give special thanks to Thema Hospice of Tucson for all their kindness and help during the final days of David's illness. He will be interred at Riverside National Cemetery in California.
