Obituary Burlington Co Times NJ June 7, 2002:
Irwin H. (Chick) Adams, 92, passed away June 5th at Mooreston Estates, Brandywine Assistant Living. He was a lifelong resident and produce farmer in the Edgewater Park, Burlington, and Delanco areas. He lived for more than 60 years on Frazier St in Burlington where he and his late wife, Florence, raised their two children.

After he retired from farming, Irwin took up vegetable gardening in a big way. Until he was in his 80's, Irwin was a supplier of produce to serveral local retailers, as well as to his neighbors and their families. He was always known for his neat attractive garden and tasty produce.
Irwin was a kind and gentle man and will be missed by family members and long time friends. He is survived by a sister Vesta Adams of Punta Gorda, Fl, a daughter Elaine Hoig of Louisville, KY, a son Howard Adams of Bonita Springs, FL, five grandchildren and eight great grandchildren.
