Robert P. Adams

STOWE- Robert Perley Adams, 84, a lifelong active member of the Stowe community died on March 31, 2021 at home, surrounded by family. Rob will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Robert was born to Harlan and Roberta Adams at his grandparent's farm in Nebraska Valley and grew up on the Barrows Road. He was the oldest of 4 boys and attended school in Stowe and the former Vermont School of Agriculture (now VTC). He also served honorably in the Vermont National Guard for over 3 years.

Robbie worked for most of all the construction/ excavation companies in Stowe and surrounding areas. He could be found sitting in his excavator with a ball cap on with a pipe in his mouth carefully manipulating dirt and rocks into a work of art.  He had an unbelievable work ethic which he passed to his children and grandchildren only retiring at age 80. He volunteered for the Stowe Fire Department for over 30 + years and was always ready to give a helping hand. He was also a lifetime Free Mason of the Stowe Mystic Lodge 56 and a lifetime member of the Waterbury/Stowe Fish & Game Club.

Robert is survived by his loving wife, Deborah Croce Adams, his brother, James, children Kelly (Lavinia) Adams, Darrell Adams and Kristy Adams Alfieri (Doug Johnson), eight grandchildren, ten great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.

Robert was predeceased by his parents, wife and mother of their children, Georgia Churchill Adams, brothers, Harlan (Dick) and Raymond Adams, and his son-in-law, Joseph Alfieri.
