DELMAR - Keith Joslin Adams, 81, born July 1, 1935, passed on Saturday, February 18, 2017. He was the son of Leeland and Pearl Adams of Delmar, NY. Keith was the husband of Mary Louise Ballantine. He was the proud father of Valerie Adams Newell (Thomas) and Keith Matthew Adams (Samantha), and the grandfather to Kimberly, Stephanie and Erin Newell and Jacob and Emily Adams. Keith had a career with Eastman Kodak and prior to that with NY Telephone Co., and was a United States Army Veteran. You were fortunate if he was your neighbor and he was a wonderful friend to have. His family would want him remembered for the self-made man he was and for his love of family and friends. The family wishes to thank the staff at AMCH on the D5 Neuro floor for the compassionate care Keith received, as well as the Community Hospice staff for their special ways and care. Interment will be private at the convenience of the family. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Community Hospice (communityhospice.org) and/or to the USO (fortdrum.uso.org) in Honor and Memory of Keith J. Adams.
