Mr Adams has been married to his wife Juliet for nearly 17 years before his death

"He had been happily married to Juliet for nearly 17 years," the statement from his family said.

"Much of his spare time was spent on charitable causes including Sacred Heart and St Antony's churches, where he loved to sing, and the Mill Hill Missionaries.

"Paul will be sorely missed by his many friends, and especially by Juliet."
