I am so sorry to hear of Adam's passing. What a nice guy he was. I just want to share my favorite memory of him. We were on the golf team in high school and we were out on a practice round, just he and I. Adam holed his shot from about 130yds away for a birdie and he was so excited and happy. He stood in disbelief and asked if the ball really went in the hole. I don't think he believed me until he got his ball out of the cup. I'll never forget the smile on his face. That's the Adam I choose to remember.

We just heard of Adam's passing, we send our deepest condolences. Elaine, you were a remarkable mother to Adam and although I never had the pleasure of meeting him, I know you gave so much love and attention to your beloved son.

Sincerely,
Beth Russell and Family

Adam was a very special nephew, my only one. I can still hear his voice saying with a smile and giggle, "Aunt Alice." We loved him so
and will remember him always.

I am saddened to hear the news of Adam's passing. I grew up just blocks away from him and always considered him to be a warm, good-hearted friend. I am glad to have known him and I will savor the memories of our friendship. My deepest, heartfelt condolences to the Lukew family.

Adam was such a kind and gentle spirit. Always happy and joyful, he LOVED his family and everyone around him. We have fond memories of him throughout the years, but especially at Jamie and David's wedding where he had the time of his life! We will miss your smile-you were always a ray of sunshine who burned so brightly and warmed all those around you with your love.
