Corrections Officer Raymond McAdams was known as a “gentle giant” at Northern State Prison in Newark.

Tall, ebullient and a mentor to younger officers, McAdams worked at the prison for 27 years, commuting from his home in Easton, Pa., where he lived with his wife, Timika and their 9-year-old son, Austin.

The 50-year-old Newark native was driving to work on Sunday afternoon when his car was struck from behind on Interstate 78 in Springfield.
