“Mr. Yosef” - Gerald Adams (1932-2016)

BOONE, N.C. – Appalachian State has lost one of its own. Gerald Adams, Mr. Yosef as he is known to the entire Appalachian State Family, passed away on Wednesday at his home in Boone. Adams was 84.

App State Athletics’ thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time and the Adams family would like to thank everyone for their support.

Adams retired in September after an incredible career of 25 years in helping improve the experience of Appalachian State University student-athletes. He worked tirelessly to raise the overall contributions made to the Yosef Club, the athletics department’s fundraising arm.
