Robert Dean Adams, 80, peacefully went to be with his Heavenly Father on Thursday, January 8, 2009. Born June 11, 1928, in Wichita, Kan., Bob grew up in Hooker and Guymon in the Oklahoma Panhandle and received his Civil Engineering degree from Oklahoma A&M (now Oklahoma State). Bob joined the Army Corp of Engineers and was stationed in Okinawa as part of the effort to rebuild after the war. Bob had found his calling.
Upon his discharge, Bob met and married Beryl Gilbertson, fresh from England, in San Francisco. Bob joined the US Foreign Service with the newly created Agency for the International Development (USAID) and for the next 35 years was posted in the developing countries of Pakistan, Panama, Ecuador, Bolivia, Kenya, and Honduras.
Bob was first and foremost a Christian, loving husband and father, amazing abuelito, curious world traveler, passionate fisherman, and teller of tales with a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye. His simple and humble relationship with Jesus Christ will continue to inspire and teach us.
Bob was deeply loved, and he will be missed. Bob survived by his wife of 50 years, Beryl, son Stephen, daughter Rebecca and son-in-law Scott Schucany, son Andrew and daughter-in-law Michelle, son John, son Richard and daughter-in-law Shelah, grandsons Ryan, Kyle, and Jack, granddaughters Michaela, Kristen, Ashley and Hannah, and brother Don and sister-in-law Sherrie of Kansas City.
