Adam Torres, 99, of Plantation, Florida passed away Friday, May 26,2023.  He was born January, 5th, 1924 in Arecibo Puerto Rico to the late Juan Torres and Rosa Cortes.

He was a unique and rare man,  an anchor – someone that projected strength and determination.  Someone you could count on in good times and bad and  possessed many wonderful qualities.  He was self-made, hard working, devoted to his family, strong-willed and, above all, honorable.  He worked  in the Merchant Marines for over 35 years and rose through the ranks to eventually reaching the position of vessel Captain.   He was not a great talker, but when he did it was the truth and he meant it.  He was a man worthy of respect and admiration and  will truly be missed.
