Anthony (Tony) Adams - Legacy Director

Tony was elected to the Foundation’s Board of Directors in November 2021. As a Legacy Director, Tony succeeds his father, Hank Adams, a Founding Director and a Past President of the Foundation. When Hank developed a heart ailment that restricted his physical activities, Tony provided assistance to Hank that allowed him to function as President until his death.

Tony is the second oldest living grandchild of Eddie and Annie Adams. As such, his memory of the Foundation’s namesakes is an important factor in ensuring the activities of the Foundation uphold the values, aspirations and legacy for which the Foundation was created.

Tony, a proud father of four chidren, retired from Kennecott Copper after a 30+ year career, during which he worked in several areas, including ore mining, copper smelting and computer technology. Tony currently lives in West Valley, Utah with his wife of 26 years, Cheryl, and teenage grandson, Nick, for whom they became primary caregivers after the tragic death of Nick’s mother.
