Adam was a very close and dear friend. I will miss him so deeply. I will never forget the time when I was babysitting him and Micheal when they were little. We were playing outside and then they both locked me out of the house! I had to get my mom to figure how to get back into their house! I have so many wonderful memories with Adam growing up as my neighbor. He was was such a kind hearted person. You are forever in my heart Adam. ❤️❤️❤️Kim Lee

Adam was not only our next-door neighbor for 25 years, he was a part of our family. We will miss his smiling face, his kindness, his loving personality and the many conversations we’ve had over the years. Adam was pure joy to us. He made us laugh and we so loved being around him. We will miss him for the rest of our lives.

Adam, oh what a big heart you had. It didn't matter to you that we had little in common, you welcomed us into your neighborhood with your gigantic smile and playful way. I so enjoyed laughing with you at the silliest things. I will cherish those moments forever. ~Bob & Gloria
