Roger Adams, 69; Theatrical Agent for Glen Campbell, Others

Roger Rex Adams, 69, theatrical agent who traveled the world with singer Glen Campbell and the entertainer’s manager, Stan Schneider, died of cancer Aug. 10 in Santa Fe, N.M.

A native of Warren, Ohio, Adams was educated at Choate School in Wallingford, Conn., and Dennison University in Granville, Ohio. He served in the Army and initially worked in his family’s insurance business.

But a chance meeting in London with a college acquaintance, Jerry Perenchio, prompted Adams to join the Jerry Perenchio Agency in 1968. He was immediately assigned to handle a new entertainer named Glen Campbell, and he and the singer soon became inseparable as Campbell’s career skyrocketed.

Through the years, Adams also represented Henry Mancini, Bob Hope and Johnny Mathis.
