Not sure what to say?

Adam was a wonderful human being, very friendly, loving, upbeat and hard working. If we could all just take a little pinch of his best qualities and put them into our own daily lives, this world would be a better world. May his memory be a blessing. May his family find comfort in the words we share. We share your grief.

Adam, I only met you once- at your father's house for Thanksgiving. I'm not sure if you had started teaching yet. Your father is a wonderful man; " like father, like son." You are terribly missed.

I meet Mr. Goodman in the sixth grade and i was just walking out of the nurse and he was getting something from the printer and he asked me if i was my brother's (Adrian) sister and from that point on he was my favorite teacher's. He was a person you can always go to with anything. He would always know if you were upset. Westlane misses him and once a wildcat always a wildcat.

Mr. Goodman was like a second father to me. He helped me with my struggles and encouraged me to keep going. It is because of him that I continue to want to strive and be successful. He has made such an impact on my life, the compliments he gave me when I was down helped me to keep going. I had Mr.Goodman for the three years that I was at Westlane. It hurts me that I couldn't say goodbye to him, and that he left without me saying Thank you. He meant a lot to me, and I wish I could've expressed...

to this day i still wear a blue bracelet on my wrist that says "kick butt goodman". i havent took it off since i bought it. when no one believed in me mr goodman did. so if i lost inspiration in school , if i feel like i have no purpose.. i just think to myself , what would Mr Goodman want me to do?

I really don't know why I'm here. My mind wonders a lot, but of the past few months I haven't thought on this subject. Mr. Goodman.... I had him in 6th grade as a DD (advisory) teacher. I would always look forward to the 25 minutes we had together. Everyday was a good day when Mr. Goodman was around. Throughout my first and second year in middle school, he's been one of my main supporters. When I felt like I was alone and had no one to talk to, he was there. For me. For everyone. To be...

he was the best teacher ever at westlane and we all miss and love him dearly

We loved Adam and lost touch with him after he moved from Seattle. We are forever grateful for the time we had with him as a young man. Thank you Evan for sending him to us. He brought us much joy and was like a third son.
