Mr. Delbert Herbert Adair of was born in Rockville on September 10, 1927, he was the son of the late Herbert and Janet (Parlee) Adair and was the husband of the late Ina (Gray) Adair who passed away in 1981. Delbert worked very hard in his life, beginning with Wallace Manufacturers. He then moved on to mill work for Blake Craft and Charlie Beatty, and then worked in the woods for Joe Pajjett. Delbert retired from the Department of Transportation in 1991 after having worked with them for 21 years. Delbert was a kind man, never having a harsh word to say to or about anyone. When he was younger, he loved to hunt, fish and even consume the occasional beer, depending on the occasion. Delbert loved music and would listen to the Country Jamboree every Sunday night. He loved nothing more than visiting with family and friends. Fortunately, he had plenty of both, so this kept him quite busy. They were as happy to see him as he was to see them. He enjoyed entertaining in his sun porch on St. George Street, beginning in early and spring and as late in the fall as he could. Next to his beloved family, he loved his animals; Cujo, Pepper and Snowball. Even though Delbert loved them all, Cujo was special. He always rode in the passenger seat and when Delbert had his name inscribed on the driver's door, he had Cujo's name inscribed on the passenger's door. Delbert will always be remembered as kind and loving to his family, friends and his pets. This is a legacy to be proud of.
