The vision and leadership of this wonderful man can best be seen by the longevity of the employees who were blessed to be able to work for him (several employees with over 30 years of service to the Adair Funeral Homes), and also the number of employees who worked for him who have gone on to manage or open funeral homes throughout the Southern United States.
