Peter Adams – Sad news
It is with considerable
sadness and regret that we learn of the sudden and unexpected death of one of
Britain’s greatest bonsai talents, Peter Adams, who died peacefully on Sunday,
24th November.
As many are aware, Peter had
been very poorly and for some weeks in hospital, but it was only
recently that his wife Kate commented that he had made a good recovery and that
they would have been returning home to the United States on Monday, 2nd
December.
For those of us who come into
bonsai during the 1970’s onwards, Peter was seen as an exceptional talent, and
many have developed their knowledge and skills in bonsai due very much to his
teaching. An author of many books on the subject, more recently, he had been a
regular contributor to ‘Bonsai Focus’, where he drew on both his
expertise in bonsai and his artistic talent in analysing raw material and
sketching out possible style options.
He was a man with a
unique talent and his death will be a sad loss to the world of
bonsai.
Our thoughts and sympathies
go to his wife Kate and other members of Peter’s family.

The Actual Words as
they were received from Kate Adams
Peter and Kate Adams Bonsai
I am so sorry to report that Peter
died suddenly, but peacefully, in his sleep last Sunday, November 24.
It was very unexpected, we had just
enjoyed a marvellous visit together on Saturday and he drew a sketch of me as I
sat there.
His
death has been so very hard to accept especially since we planned to leave tor
home together next Monday, December 2.
There will be a memorial at a later
date. Details will be advised on this page. (Facebook) His ashes will come home
with me soon.
I
miss him so very terribly.
Kate
