October 1983 Tribute in Hallmark for Jack Adams by Ted Janes :-
Jack Adams died after a long illness, he never enjoyed the best of health throughout his retirement. He was a local man, and when he left school he started work as a ploughboy at Stocken Farm, graduating to other farms in the arear, and building, before becoming a railwayman.
During his life he lived both in Lacey Green and Loosley Row. always interested in village affairs, in fact I would say he was a true-salt-of-the-earth countryman. Our sympathy goes to wife Mary and children June and Monty.
