ADAMS, Peter John – (December 29, 2011) Peter J. Adams was born on April 28, 1929 in Breslau, Germany. His family left Germany in 1933 and ultimately emigrated to the US in 1939, settling in Saginaw, Michigan. He completed high school in Saginaw and went on to The University of Michigan to graduate with a BS in Mechanical Engineering. A summer job in 1945 with the Wickes Boiler Company provided the interest in boiler engineering which he maintained throughout his career. Employers included The Babcock and Wilcox Company, Combustion Engineering, Inc. (Alstom) and Foster Wheeler Corp. in various US locations. He was transferred to Foster Wheeler Limited in 1974 where he retired as Vice President in 1992. Mr. Adams was a registered Professional Engineer in Ontario as well as many of the states, a life member of ASME and held a number of patents. Mr. Adams married Ann Arbogast (deceased 1976) in 1954 and together they had four children, Carolyn Adams- Price, John M. Adams, Paul R. Adams and Susan J. Adams as well as six grandchildren. In 1979 he married Carol G. Adams (deceased in 2007). Mr. Adams’ identical twin F. Gerard Adams passed away earlier in 2011 year and his younger brother Robert F. Adams resides in California.
