Edwin V. "Ed" Adams, passed away on Monday, March 26, 2007 at a local hospital.
He was born March 15, 1926 in Brooklyn, Arkansas to Joe William and Hazel McKay Adams. Ed was a retired Navy Chief Petty Officer, having served his country during WWII, Korean and Vietnam. Upon retiring from the Navy, Ed opened the Villa Italiano Restaurant in Flour Bluff. He and his wife, Myrtle and their children operated the Villa from 1971 to 1981. During this period, he twice served as President of the Flour Bluff Business Association. Unwilling to completely retire, he went to work as a Chef for Marine Drilling until 1986. He then proceeded to hold several part-time jobs until his final retirement in June 2006 from TAMU-CC. His goal was to remain as active as possible in his later years. Ed is preceded in death by his parents, two sisters, four brothers and his beloved daughter, Darlene Duncan.
He is survived by his loving wife of 63 years, Myrtle; his son, Adams of Mathis; daughter Grannell of Corpus Christi. He leaves his ten adored grandchildren.
