Is there an obituary? Does anyone know the facts of Gary's death? I'll be talking about him in my newsletter.

| Gary Adams funeral and visitation, and here's the obituary that I'm trying to send the link. Anyhow, his visitation and funeral will be this Wednesday January 12, 2022. Visitation from 11:00 to 1:00 and funeral will be following at the Murray - Fettro Funeral Home in Greenfield Ohio. This is his home area. Don and Arnie Adams his brothers, and other family all still live in that area. All three of them worked playing music with George Jones and Johnny Paycheck and other Country Music Legends! https://www.murrayfettro.com/obituary/gary-adams |

| Read where Gary and his brother Don, who was also a Jones Boy ,hailed from Greenfield OH . Weren’t Paycheck, Darrell McCall and some other notables from there too ? Jones Boy Sonny Curtis was from Ohio as well. |

Yes, here's a quote from my 2008 interview with Gary:
Me and my brothers, we was George's first band--the Adams Boys. Me and Don and Arnie, we all played on "The Race Is On," and recorded all the things with George back in the early '60s. Paycheck, he played steel sometimes, and then George would fire him the next day, and then hire him back the next month, and it just kept going. But it was nice to get into a stable organization with Marty, with none of that stuff happening. If you ever do a biography on Paycheck, call me. Me and him and Darrell McCall, we all grew up together. Darrell was from Hillsboro. That's where I've been the last 25 years, and I just moved back to Greenfield this year. Darrell and I and Paycheck was kids together.

I took these at Demon's Den in Nashville, 1971. Gary was a fine guitar player. |
