Tom F. Adams ’ ’68

 Tom died April 25, 2023, in San Jose, Calif.

He came to us from Withrow High School in Cincinnati, where he was captain of the swim team and president of the chemistry club. At Princeton, he was on the freshman swim team, a captain in Commons, and coxswain on crew. He was also a state weightlifting champion. He majored in sociology, ate at Tower Club, and lived off campus at 226 Eisenhower St. his senior year after marrying his “wife for life,” Rosalynn. 

Upon graduating, Tom earned an MBA from the University of Chicago. His business career included stints with McKinsey & Co., Quaker Oats Co., and finally Xerox for 30 years, from which he retired as the vice president of strategy development in 1999. 

In retirement, Tom pursued his passion for physical fitness and was a manager for a fitness club. He continued to weight train, earning another championship in the senior masters division, in addition to swimming, diving, and running. 

The class extends its deepest sympathies to Tom’s wife, Rosalynn; and daughter Lisa; as well as his extended family and friends. This quiet, caring, talented classmate will be missed.
