Gary Adams served as UCLA's head baseball coach for 30 years, after playing at UCLA and also coaching at both UC Riverside and UC Irvine, taking the Irvine team to two World Series Championships. Gary maintained one of the highest graduation rates in all of college baseball, while putting more players in the 'bigs' than all but one other coach of his time. His time spent with close friend the great John Wooden resulted in the book 'Conversations With Coach Wooden', while the other books had their infancy over thirty years ago, but were burned up in a California wildfire, leaving only the original typed manuscripts available. Using those manuscripts, two already approved for publication, Gary and his wife of 32 years painstakingly rebuilt each one, and they are all now offered on Amazon as well as through other channels. Gary and Sandy both have authored between them eleven books, some fiction, others true life stories.
Both have new books in the works. Names such as Chase Utley, Tim Leary, Troy Glaus, Torey Lovullo, Dave Schmidt, Ron Roenicke, Don Slaughter, Mike Gallego, Todd Zeile, Bill Hasselman, Ricj Amaral, Eric Garros, Eric Byrnes, and the new Dodger manager, Davie Roberts, are among the dozens who went from the teams of Gary Adams to the big leagues. Gary's inimitable writing style and gentle story-telling will intrigue any reader and enrich the minds of even the youngest readers.
Books suitable for ages 4 to 90 available through amazon or on the Adams Family website.
To the Adams family. My heart and prayers are with each and everyone of you. Chris was a terrific guy, LifeHouse and Van Wert will not be the same, he didn't know a stranger and he left a huge impact in our lives with his music, humor, generosity and his love for Christ. If only more people could be more like him. He will be truly missed by so many and remembered fondly. May God give you all strength to get through this difficult time and help you find peace.
Many blessingsKimberly and Noelle. Mary & Family Linda and I are saddened by the passing away of Chris.
We offer our support and our heartfelt condolences to each and every one of you. I am so sorry for your loss, Mary.
If we can ever do anything, please let us know. I know this will be a very difficult time now and you will be surrounded by support and love from family. I could say all kinds of platitudes but they cannot comfort you now. Grief is a process and each one of us go through it differently. Again, I am sorry and I am sure the he is 'present with our Lord.' Vern & Linda Boggs 1225 David st Van Wert, Ohio 45891. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Mary.
May the Lord give you comfort and peace in the days to come. I had been seeing on facebook where some friends and family of mine were asking for prayers for your husband, but I did not realize at the time he was your husband. When I read the obituary is when I realized. I am so sorry for your loss and you will be in my prayers and thoughts. I know it has been a long time since we have talked or even seen each other, but I wanted you to know i'm thinking of you.
