PAUL LORAL ADAMS
May 10, 1939 - April 4, 2019
Heaven gained Paul Loral Adams, 79, of Colorado Springs on April 4, 2019, after a five week long battle with cancer. He was surrounded by his wife, Helen; sons, Lanny and Randy; and his daughter, Andrea. He was a true warrior; facing the pain, fighting for his life on earth.
Paul was born on May 10, 1939 to Loral W. Adams and Gale Miller Adams in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Paul has four sisters, Yvonne (Garrett), Sharon (Ward), Donna (Jagger), and Barbara (Price) and a brother, Ronald Adams (deceased).
Paul began his career in the construction industry, running heavy equipment at the Air Force Academy, NORAD, and various missile sites in Montana and Missouri. He started his own company, A&A Contractors, where he designed and executed underground utilities, and water & sewer treatment plants. A&A Contractors became licensed in six states. Paul also worked with his friend, L. C. Greenwood (Pittsburgh Steelers) implementing minority construction projects in Arizona. Paul retired after completing his last government contract in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Paul loved sports and was involved with his children in 4-H, coaching softball, little league, and football. He was President of the Booster Club and was involved in the Alumni Association of Florida State University. Paul renewed all of the ballfields at Deerfield Beach High School. He was an avid golfer, playing at Bay Hill, The PGA, Boca Raton Country Club, Doral Country Club and all
Desert Mountain courses in Arizona.
Paul was generous and mindful to make sure his immediate family, friends, employees, and neighbors were well cared for. We are so blessed to have been in his life, and he will be sorely missed.

My sympathy to all the family.Paul was very helpful to me many years ago when I was looking for work and he arranged for an interview at Western Tractor. He told them that if I did not work out he would pay my weeks wages.He was always looking out for Ronald and me.God Bless.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loved and deepest condolences are extended to you. Something that's helped me through the death of loved ones is to reflect on 1 Corinthians 15:26.

Uncle Paul I am so sad that I am going to say this on a site instead of the planned way was to say it in person to you, I never got the chance to tell you that when I was little and my mom and dad divorced that you helped us out with moving to a apartment, food and other things that we had to have to live. I am so grateful that you did that for us.
I remember you pulling all of my baby teeth and putting money in my shoes because I was brave. I have so many memories and so much regret that I didn't do this in person. I felt that you should hear it while your was alive and it never happened. I do not know how to say goodbye and I am not sure that I ever will. So for now know that I loved you also . I was told about Rex coming to see you and I am grateful that he did. He truly is a caring man and good husband. I am glad that you got to know him.
Please look in on us from time to time, and tell my mom I miss her and love her.
