Harold Adkins

Harold V. " Skinny" Adkins, age 65, of Toledo, passed away Thursday, June 28, 2007 in St. Anne Mercy Hospital. He was born February 9, 1942 to Lemuel and Irlee (Jackson) Adkins in Campbell County, Duff, Tennessee. Harold was employed with Commerce Paper Company for 30 years, retiring in 2000. He enjoyed camping and fishing in Morenci Michigan where he and his wife owned a camper for 14 years. He thought of his friends and neighbors there as family.
