Jean Adams It is with great sadness that we have to inform you that Jean Adams, Reg's dear wife passed away on Wednesday 10th March 2010.  Jean had been unwell for a while and been in hosptial for a couple of months.    Although Jean had been feeling unwell at the end of last year she perked up for one of her proudest moments - seeing Reg win the Sunday Mail 'Local Hero' award - this picture shows Reg, Jean, their son Jeff and a Sunday Mail representative at the award ceremony in December.  Our heartfelt sympathy goes to Reg and his family at this sad time.  The funeral service, will take place at The Crematorium in Camelon on Wednesday 17th March at 10.30am and thereafter to The Lea Park Hotel in Grangemouth. All family friends would be very welcome at both the service and later at The Lea Park.   Family flowers only please but if anyone wishes, there will be a collection at the service in aid of The British Heart Foundation 12/03/10
