Obituary............F/O Randy Adams
After a hard fought battle with an aggressive cancer, Randall
William Adams, 62, of Boca Raton, Florida passed away on Sunday, December 16,
2018 peacefully with his daughters Kaitlyn Marie, Sarah Victoria, Emily Fay and
loved ones by his side.
Randy was a devoted father who had a great impact on his
family and the world around him. He was born in Miami, Florida to mother Julia
Moore Snyder and father William R. Adams, who both predeceased him. Randy grew
up mainly in Ridgefield Connecticut in a large extended family with 4 sisters
and 4 brothers.
Randy attended Ridgefield High School & graduated from
Central Connecticut State University. Upon graduating he was
commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the United States Army
where he served proudly for 8 years until his Honorable Discharge. He then moved
to Florida where he raised his family in Pembroke Pines, Florida. He continued
to serve his country in the United States Coast Guard as an aviator, flying the
HH65 Dolphin helicopter and retired as Lt. Commander. It was in the service
where he followed his lifelong dream of flying. This love of flying led to a
career as a commercial airline pilot where he proudly flew for ComAir ,
Northwest and lastly Delta Airlines as First Officer.
Randy loved all his family and was a true patriot to his
country. He proudly flew the American Flag outside his home and on practically
everything he owned. Randy was a devout Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots
fan, even naming his dog "Brady" after the Patriots quarterback! He was an avid
boater, skier and was a great cook (his ribs and chicken wings were
outstanding!). Randy had a fun-loving personality and touched so many throughout
his life -with lifelong friends from every part of his life.
After learning that his cancer returned in March 2018 Randy
was optimistic he would beat it. Randy remained brave, even throughout his final
days.
Randy is survived by his three daughters as well as sisters
Sally, Heidi, Beth & Suzy and brothers Scott, Billy, Mike and predeceased
John as well as sisters-in-law Jen & Shannon, brothers-in-law John, Bob
& Neil & numerous nieces & nephews
