We regret to advise of the death of Sergeant Floyd Hector Adams (Ret’d) on 1 March 2013 at Shuswap Lake General Hospital, Salmon Arm BC with his family by his side.
Born in Nipawin SK and joined the army at 16 years of age. He served overseas in the Royal Canadian Engineers from 1940 to 1945. After the war, he moved to Victoria and worked at the dockyards in Esquimalt for many years. In 1974, he retired and moved to Notch Hill in the Shuswap to pursue his dream of farming and racing horses; he quickly became, and remained, active in the community.
The funeral service was held from the chapel of Bowers Funeral Home, Salmon Arm, on Monday afternoon, 11 March at 1:30 PM. The eulogy was shared by his daughter, Alaine, with a prayer by Malcolm Graham and Veteran honours by Padre Norm Russell. A reception will follow in the Mountainside room allowing time to continue sharing memories before the Interment in the Notch Hill Community Cemetery.
Instead of flowers, donations may be sent to S.L.G. Hospital, Level 2, Palliative Care, 601 10th Street. N.E. Salmon Arm, VIE 4N6 Floyd will be greatly missed by family and friends of the community.
