Age 73, was born February 4, 1952 in Elmira, the son of the late Harold Benjamin and Vera (Arthur) Adams. He went home to be with his Lord on Friday, March 7, 2025 peacefully at the Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre, PA. His brothers, Dennis Adams and Randy Adams; sisters, Gloria Spell, Glenna Shaw and Evea Klock preceded him in death.

For many years Harold worked in the maintenance department for the Odessa/Montour School District in Montour Falls, NY. He loved to fish and enjoyed playing golf. He was an avid NASCAR fan and was a huge fan of the # 3 Dale Earnhardt. What Harold was so excited about was giving his life over to his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He was looking so forward to going to church on Sundays and sitting next to his beloved Beverly.
