Brigadier General Floyd C. Adams, Jr., "The Leader" was born in Athens, Georgia the 4th of October 1930 to Mr. and Mrs. Floyd C. Adams.

He graduated from The Citadel, Charleston, South Carolina in 1952 as a Distinguished Military Graduate and winner of the Douglas MacArthur Award as the nation's outstanding ROTC graduate. At the Citadel, he was class president and First Captain of the corps of Cadets. He was commissioned a Second Lieutenant of Artillery in the Regular Army. He began his 30 plus years of distinguished military service as an officer and a soldier on the 15th of June 1952.

In the years following, he believed his job in the army was to save lives and preserve the American way of life. He did that with strength, courage and integrity. He was a man of honour.

On December 27th, 1958, Captain Adams married the love of his life, Sally Ann Hart, daughter of General and Mrs. Charles E. Hart in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He departed shortly after for the Eighth Army in Korea where he won the General I.D. White Leadership Award for the outstanding unit commander.

On his return to the United States he was assigned as an instructor at the US Army Artillery and Missile School, Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Following his promotion, Major Adams served three years as a tactical officer at the United States Military Academy at West Point.

After his graduation from the Armed Forces Staff College, he returned to Europe taking command of the 2nd Battalion 83rd Field Artillery and was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel. He spent a year in Vietnam and served successfully as the commander to three different Battalions in the 9th Infantry Division.

Upon returning from Vietnam, Colonel Adams was assigned to the Pentagon. He attended the National War College and earned a Master of Science Degree in International Affairs from George Washington University.

His next two assignments were the 3rd Armored Division Artillery in Germany and Secretary of General Staff, Headquarters, United States Army, Europe and Seventh Army, Heidelberg, Germany. He was promoted to Brigadier General and was assigned as the Assistant Chief of Staff, Plans and Policy Division, Headquarters, Allied Forces, Southern Europe.

He returned to the United States in 1977 and assumed the position of Deputy Commanding General, US Army Recruiting Command, Fort Sheridan, Illinois. In 1979, he assumed command of the First ROTC Region at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.

General Adams' awards and decorations include the Silver Star, two Legion of Merits, three Bronze Star Medals, and numerous other accolades. He retired from Active Duty in August of 1982 but remained an officer and soldier for the remainder of his life.

Duty, Honour, Country

Following his retirement, the General and Sally moved to Greensboro, North Carolina at Sedgefield Country Club. He was a respected and active member of the community and a faithful member of the All Saints Episcopal Church. He was a devoted husband, father and grandfather "always setting the bar high". He loved people and had a way of making those around him better. He was always willing to help others and give of himself. He appreciated everyone and everything in his life.

He is survived by his wife, bride as he called her, Sally of 61 years and his three proud children, Susie, Bo and EB that he loved and admired. He is also blessed with nine loving grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. His Family and legacy are and always will be his greatest blessing.

The General will be honoured and buried in Arlington National Cemetery at a later date.

In lieu of Flowers, the family has requested that memorial donations be made to the Wounded Warrior Project.

Hanes-Lineberry N. Elm Chapel is assisting the family. Online condolences may be offered at www.haneslineberryfhnorthelm.com.

Brigadier General Floyd Cecil Adams, Jr.

Pasquale Burlarelli

I was very lucky to meet Gen. Cecil Adams, long time ago (in 1975/1976), in Napoli, Italy, in the Military NATO Base of Bagnoli.
At that time, I was a young man and I worked as his driver.
He was a great person, and i was very lucky to share that great period working with him.
He and his family came to my hometown Foligno, to meet my parents and share a wonderful lunch together. I still have all the photos of that day.
My heart and my affects goes to his family and son.
I really would like to have a mail contact of the Family, so i could send a letter to Bo, Ebi, Betty and Sally
If you have any mail contact of the family, please send it to me: Pasquale.burlarelli@gmail.com

A great hug
PASQUALE

I was blessed and fortunate to have had the opportunity to serve as BG Adams Aide-de-camp for over 2 years and I owe as much to him and the Adams family as to anyone I have come in contact with in my entire lifetime. He was the consummate leader and taught me how to interact with others, from a 4-star general to a new recruit...always at a professional level He would often times say that you needed to conduct yourself in all things, as if whatever you did or said would be published on the front page of the NY Times. He and Sally welcomed me into their family and treated me as if I was one of their own, as did Susie, Bo and EB. There is no way I could ever repay GEN Adams and the Adams family for their hospitality and nurturing in my early days in service, but I will do my best to honor BG Adams' legacy and offer those lessons learned to others at every opportunity. Thanks, sir. Mission accomplished. Well done. Be thou at peace. My love to the entire Adams family.

David Amderson

It was a great honor for Betty and me to know and serve with this American Soldier and Leader. As the First ROTC Region Sergeant Major I got to know and learn from the best. He was the epitome of a great leader. When rendering a salute he would address you as "leader" or "Army". That was the actions of a leader, with respect and a lover of his profession.. We all have lost a great soldier. I am sure he is enjoying his new leadership position. To his family , Sally, Suzie, Bo and EB,. Betty and I send our condolences.

William Byrd, Sr.

General Adams and family, thank you for your outstanding career. As a fellow Citadel Grad, you have honored our College with your service. You can now: Stand Down, At Ease! God Bless you and your family.

Bill Schink

Sallie,
The General is now up in Heaven with the Commander-in-Chief of us all. God bless him, and know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I always enjoyed seeing him at the Fitness Center; he was always friendly to me and my late wife, Cindy, with a solid handshake for me and a peck on the cheek for her. He brightened our days.
Be well. Stay strong.

Blessings,
Bill Schink

I thought a lot of Mr. Adams. I am so sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers are with you. Mrs. Adams.

Kevin Conrad

It was an honor to know Brigadier General Floyd Cecil Adams, I met him and his family over 25 years ago. And he was always a true gentleman and Patriot. We shared a special friendship when he found out my family was all retired military, my thoughts and prayers go out to Sally and Bo, Eb and Susie and the rest of the family. I will share all of the stories that Cecil shared with me over the years in remembrance of this great man.

Hearts and Prayers from the Conrad family.

Margy Bodenheimer

The world has lost one of the GREATEST American heroes of our time. Brigadier General Cecil Adams was a TRUE soldier. LOYAL to America as a soldier and a civilian to the end. It was an HONOR for our family to be able to call General Adams our friend. We will FOREVER be GRATEFUL for the many FOND memories we have shared with General Adams and the ENTIRE Adams family throughout the years. Bodie LOVED Cecil, like a brother. We hold ALL of the Adams Family close to our hearts TODAY and ALWAYS.
With Love,
Margy, Dawn, F.P. & Tracy
