I remember my time spent with my Uncle. One of my faves! He was awesome to me as a kid! We worked together ( well I worked; he supervised and played video game golf) he taught me how to do quite a bit. He was fun and always good to me and my mom. Ill miss him greatly and hold on tothe time I spent with him. RIP Uncle Aggie

God bless Adrien, a good friend, mentor, colleague, and role model, a fair and considerate person with everyone. He set standards for ethics and management attitude, qualities that endeared him to many, including me in my banking career and beyond, starting when he hired me into my first banking job. I send condolences to Brent and the rest of the family, and to all who knew and treasured Adrien in their lives.

W will always remember Adrien and his wonderful family. They were so much a part of our lives as we started our lives together. In those years at Lake Forest Garden Center we so easily solved all of the world's problems. We all shared in some of the most wonderful of times and some of the saddest. We are all richer for those experiences. God bless all of you and our thoughts will be with you. Sorry we cannot make the service on Saturday but assurredly our love will be with all of you. Patti and Steve Houin
