Adam, you were my closest friend in high school. I can't imagine what those years would have been like if not for your presence, although I know that they would not have been nearly as much fun.
David and Nicole, your Dad was a good man with a quick wit, a perceptive intelligence and genuine friendliness and kindness that made him very special to all of us who have been blessed to call him a friend. No words can do justice to him but please know that he lives on in all of our hearts.
