It is with great sadness that the California Cotton Ginners and Growers Association announces the passing of long time Raisin City Co-op Gin Manager Richard (Dick) Adams Dec. 11, 2017, after a short illness. Born on Sept. 4, 1932, Richard grew up in Porterville, California. He proudly served in the United States Army during the Korean Conflict as a tank commander. Richard was the recipient of two Purple Hearts and the Bronze Star of Valor. He was also past president of the Korean War Veterans Association and a vital hand in the memorial in Washington, D.C. As a Congressional delegate, he was instrumental in bringing home missing in action remains from North Korea. In 1953, Richard met and married Mary Ann Gordon. The couple was married for 64 years. He retired from Raisin City Co-op Gin after 40 years of service as the cotton gin manager.
