To the BaLaOoWeeCoo, my big bro, Freddy, a.k.a. John Frederick Adams, Senior

He can never be replaced. Because he's the heart of the family. 
 That's what Mama would say. She'd say, "Don't argue with him because he's the heart of the family". And he will always be the heart. 
 And my heart is breaking because my heart is gone. What will I do? How will I be able to call him and say, "what do you think about that? What should I do about this?" And he'd always say, "you know exactly what to do. Try this.  Try that." Sometimes he say, "give me a minute. I'm gonna get something done. "
 Cause that's the kind MAN,  he is. There was no such a thing as NO, Can't be done, WON'T be done because that was my "Mama Spirit" too. She always told me "For every NO that you get,  there's gonna be somebody to tell you yes!" And Freddy embodied that about my Mama "GG". He embodied that about his life. He did so many things, I don't even know all that he did, but he did it! And he never accepted. No!, as a way to block him from success. 

He lived a seriously, successful life. He lived out his fantasies, his dreams. He did so many things. I'll never forget when he came running down the street and said, "Fire! Fire! I used to be a fireman!"  He used to be a policeman. He was an airman. He was so many things in this world that some people only get a chance to play once. 

He never held a grudge. You were always welcome in his home. He would always pick you up or open up his door. Because that's just what a heart does. A heart loves. 

And so today, as we lay my Big Brother Freddy, John Fredrick Adams, Senior 
"THE BaLaOooWeeCoo" to rest, 

Our Dear Beloved Freddy is no longer here, but his heart has expanded in us and cultivate it in us! 

because... Freddie... My heart is broke today. Because... you can never be replaced.

Proverbs 17:17 says a true friend shows love at all times,  Proverbs 18:24 says there are companions ready to crush one another, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother and Proverbs 27:17 says as iron sharpens iron, so  one man sharpens his friend… This is how it was with me and Freddie Adams. I will miss my friend dearly.

We are sending our condolences to the family and you are in our prayers at this difficult times in your life.

To my longtime and dearest friend Dorothy Blue Adams in the loss of her husband.   
Sending prayers, hugs, and much love to the entire family.  So thankful for John’s presence at my 80th Birthday Celebration back in June. John was a man who expressed his opinion on any subject.  John will be missed. We respect God’s decision to take him Home. ❤️❤️🙏!!     Lula Peacock MANGUM and Family!

On behalf of the Howard family I wish to give our condolences to the Adams family. Our families have been connected for over 80 years due to the Brotherhood Freddie shared with my father Richard Lee Howard III. Those two were inseparable and due to their close relationship and the love that they had for each other we were all able to learn what made the world exist according to Philosopher Sir Freddie Adams. It can't go without saying that many conversations involving Freddie resulted in disputes and laughter that was always thought provoking. I would sit and listen to Freddie discuss multiple topics and if you didn't agree...Watch out!!! His beliefs and his ability to offset a counter argument was a beautiful site to observe and hear. I wouldn't trade those life experiences for anything. Freddie was a true believer in debate and a certified wordsmith.
While it is truly a sad occasion that Sir Freddie has passed the overwhelming understanding is that he has entered the Pearly Gates without restrictions and been reacquainted with family and friends. Presently, Sir Freddie is smiling at each of us as we continue to pursue life on a daily basis. God Bless you Freddie! You lived a full life and accomplished so much during your time on this earth. You were an inspiration to more people than you would ever know and touched the lives of individuals who could never repay that debt. Well done Sir!

On behalf of the family.

The memories of my dear cousin Freddie are moving through my mind as I write. I remember Freddie coming to visit his cousins in Atlanta several times. My sisters, brothers, mom, dad would all sit down at the dinner table and Freddie would always praise my mother's cooking profusely. He would lead discussions at the dinner table and had everyone laughing about something. The last most important memory I had of Freddie was when my older brother Robert became ill and Freddie flew down from Connecticut to see if he could help. My sister Brenda and I were at our wits end trying to get the medical attention our brother needed, and Freddie's intervention helped us in many ways. We appreciated all that Freddie did.
We are so grateful to have had Freddie to touch our lives as he did.

Cousin Helen in Atlanta

No one ever knows how a person is feeling in moments like this but I encourage the family to remember the memories that you shared with your loved one and know that your journey in this life continues. You are always going to have your loved one in your heart and mind. We never know the time or day but we do know that we all will come to this same moment. Be encouraged and know that God will be there with you always.

Sending prayers to the family. Mr. Adams always had something to say that was wrapped in wisdom and laughter. I enjoyed when our families came together and my dad would say something funny to provoke a response from Mr.  Adams.  Mr. Adams you will be missed. Much love to the family during this difficult time.

My condolences to the family of my homeboy and friend.   It was always an adventure to be in his presence.  We grew up in Hartford and reunited in DC.  May the Lord comfort and keep the family together during these difficult times.
David Hardrick and the Hardrick family.

My condolences are with the wife and family of John ( Freddie ) Adams.  I’ve known John for many years,  he grew up with my brothers and he and my brother Carl were best of friends.  I’ll always remember his smile and wit .    Elinor Hardrick
