Joseph Adams – 62, of Lowell and formerly of Springfield, died unexpectedly at the Lowell General Hospital on Saturday, November 27, 2021.

Born in Springfield, MA on November 14, 1959. He was the son of the late Joseph R. Westcott and Beverly Joan (Tobey) McCoy. He was raised and attended school in Springfield and was a graduate of West Springfield High School.

Joe was a U.S. Air Force Veteran, he was an Airman First Class and  served from 1979 to 1981. He was an Aircraft Maintenance Specialist. He later worked as a sales manager at several convenience stores. He has been a resident of Lowell for the past 33 years.

Joe was loving, caring, colorful and he lived life by his own rules. He always loved a good argument. His personal style of dress was outrageous from his insanely colorful clothing to his wild and bizarre hats. He would even dye his long beard in different colors. Nothing was too over the top. Everyone loved to see Pops to checkout that day’s look.

He liked to collect figurines, he loved long drives, he loved his dog and his colorful wardrobe. His favorite pastime was getting stoned and watching TV.

Family members include his loving wife of 29 years, Mary A. (Gallant) Adams; daughters, Angela Hope Perez and Angela Sue Gallant; brothers, Richard Westcott and Richard Mahaney; grandchildren, Joseph and Destiny Marcotte, Aislyn, Brielle, Brycen and Aerlyn Perez.

A Celebration of his life will be held at a later date. Arrangements are under the direction of the Croswell Funeral Home, 19 Bow Street, North Reading. In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made in his memory to the charity of one’s choice.
