Pasty and family,  I just read of the death of Irvin's going home to the next phase in life of eternal praising the Lord! He was an inspiration to me in ministry. While he was in Clayton we got together to talk about ministry and challenges I may face. He had the wisdom I needed. God brought him into my life to help me with my ministres in Raleigh.. Pasty you help me to when I came to the BSC for needs for the churches. He has bless many I know and I will always remember him as a great preacher and leader of all to the opportunity to know Christ as their Lord and Savior! Will be praying for you Pasty and the entire family.

Ms. Adcock and Family,

 My sincerest sympathy goes to each of you. I knew Rev. Adcock briefly through the Golden Chords. He always put a smile and joy in my heart with his kindness and flattery being called an Anne Murray look-a-like.

 He is with his beloved Jesus celebrating His birth today! What a joy that would be. Although you all will miss him dearly, Rev. Adcock is at physical peace and rest.

Continue to share your precious memories and love for him with each other.

With greatest love to you all, Debi Hinkle

Our thought's and prayer's are with all of you during this time. Mr. Adcock will be missed by so many people! He was a wonderful, Christian man who loved Jesus and shared the gospel with a lot of people during his 60 + years in the ministry. Now he is in Heaven with all his loved ones, both family and friend's that went before him. We thank GOD for the privilege of having been a friend of his and for the opportunity to have been Blessed many times by him sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ with all of us at Providence and the many other people that were also Blessed by his love for Jesus. R.I.P. Mr. Adcock and we will see you again 1 day!!
