Henry Charles Adams Jr., son of the late Henry Charles Adams and the late Edith Baisden Adams, was born in New York, New York, on Tuesday, February 13, 1934.
When Henry was a child, his family relocated to Pittsburgh, PA, where he received his secondary education in the Pittsburgh Public Schools, graduating from Schenley High School. He earned a B.A. Degree from Wilson College, Chambersburg, PA, and his Juris Doctorate from the University of the District of Columbia, David A. Clarke School of Law.
Henry retired from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania with thirty plus years of service as a Personnel Analyst. He is credited with establishing the Commonwealth’s first Bureau of Affirmative Action under Governor Milton J. Shapp.
Henry served honorably in the United States Army and was an avid golfer who was known for wearing the traditional plaid knickers and tam style hat. He never claimed to be proficient, but he was persistent! Another passion was serving his special cuisine each year as a participant in the “Kings Who Cook” feast sponsored by the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. He was a lifelong learner with an insatiable appetite for history. Reading was a favorite pastime. For over fifty years this erudite, classy gentleman was a member of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.
Ever the entrepreneur, Henry achieved the distinction of an Executive Director with the 5LINX organization and also founded the “Ripple Group” a non-profit focused on Sickle Cell Trait advocacy. His passion for both organizations was fueled by love for his devoted wife “Ellie” who is a lifelong survivor of Sickle Cell Disease. Henry was a committed caregiver who always put her needs before his own.
Henry, an ordained Deacon, has served the Coptic Orthodox Church since 1978. He served also as a Sunday School Teacher and loved interacting with the many youth of the church. Two of his favorite Biblical passages were Isaiah 40:31 and II Kings 6:8-19.
On Sunday, January 25, 2015, Henry transitioned from labor to reward and is now resting peacefully in the presence of his Creator and Lord. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his only sibling, Michael A. Adams. He leaves to mourn his passing his wife, Eleanor D. Adams; son, Charles Whiting Adams, both of Harrisburg, PA; nephew, David A. Adams of Pittsburgh, PA; niece, Lynn Adams of Birmingham, AL; and a host of other relatives and friends.
