Mr. Adcock was a lifelong resident of Coalfield and a prominent member of his community. He was well known and well liked in the community with many people coming to him for advice, or just stopping by to sit on the porch with him for a while. H He was well known for his large gardens, which oftentimes fed not only his family but many others. Another trademark that characterized Mr. Adcock in the community was Sunday afternoon gathering of his family at his home. He cooked Sunday dinner for his family, every Sunday since 1998.
Mr. Adcock was a member of Kellytown Baptist Church in Oliver Springs and attended faithfully. He was a 62 year member of the Black Diamond Masonic Lodge # 625 F & AM in Petros. He was employed at the Coalfield School for many years and he later retired from the Cumberland Utility District.
There are not enough words to describe this man and the impact his life had on many. While Mr. Adoock's family is saddened by their loss, they know that if there was ever a man ready to go it was him and they find comfort in knowing that this is not the end for him, but the beginning of his eternity. The family would like to express their gratitude to all the home health nurses from Amedisys who visited Mr. Adcock's home.
The family will receive friends Monday, March 26, 2012, between the hours of 5:00 and 8:00 pm, at Sharp Funeral Home. The funeral will follow at 8:00 pm in the funeral home chapel with Pastors Gary Massengill and Kevin Thacker officiating.
