Going to a tournament - $150
Singing with Adam and Sloboda - Priceless

Cici Adam will be missed by all--music lovers, people of the arts but I for one will miss his wonderful humor that he gave to all.
I remember the Club Selo nights when Chichi Adam entertained all with his wonderful renditions.
I guess being older does have its benefits--I knew him longer.
Love you pal.

Adam Popovich was truly a great inspriration and friend to our S.S.S. Mita Topalovich Choir in Joliet, IL. Even with the small amount of people our choir is made up of, everytime he would be at a concert or festival we were singing at, he would always have a nice compliment to say about us. Those positive compliments are what makes our choir still sing today. Thank you much, Adam, for all your many contributions in our Serbian culture and heritage! You will be so very missed by us all!

Adam was truly a great person with many God given talents and a wonderful Serb. I'll never forget the first time I directed at an SSF Festival. I was very nervous, both before and after our performance. I wondered how we would do and then afterwards, how did we sound. To say that I was ancy, was an understatement.

In Sept. 1940, I was forced to miss a Popovich Brother's performance in Calumet, MN. I was in the hospital giving birth to my first child, Radomir (Ron).

My thoughts are with the Popovich family.

Adam's loss is so deeply felt by all of us. He was such a great influence on our lives. He meant different things to many different people, but, for me, Adam taught heritage, history, and culture through music. He was the essence of Serbian. I will carry some of what I learned from him to the next generation. It will keep his spirit alive forever.

Adam was not only a musical genious but was an inspiration to me when I joined the choir at the age of fifteen. I'll always remember times when we would be on stage performing and he would look at me and give me a little wink. Many times you would get up on stage and give it everything you had for the simple reason that you didn't want to let Adam down. Everyone who knew Adam will agree that there will NEVER be another Adam Popovich.

My condolences go out to all of his family and...
