Adam Tharp

In one of the stars

I shall be living

In one of them

I shall be laughing

And so it will be

as if all the strs

were laughing

when you look

at the sky at night - The Little Prince

....and there is sweetness
in the laughter of all the stars
and in the memories
of those you love.

With all my love to you Barbara and all of Adam's...

I have been trying to find the right words to say for days, and tonight I finally realized that there aren’t any. I wish that there were something I could say or do to take the pain of losing Adam away from his friends and family- but there isn’t.

When I think about the 7 years of memories that I shared with Adam, I can’t help but smile. It is so truly unbelievable that he has passed.

I will miss his smile, and his laugh. I will miss his crazy antics and his...

Barbara,
My sympathy to you in your time of grief. I did not know your son but I do know you and I know that time is a good healer. I lost my wife at the tender age of 30 and I know what you must be going through. I'll keep you in my prayers and see you on my return to Connecticut in August. God Bless You. Take Care, Warm regards, Brian Stanley

To the entire Tharp family, Noel, and everyone else whose lives Adam has touched~

It's pretty hard to believe... someone so full of life with so much to give has been taken away from us so soon. The amazing memories we have made is what is helping me through this: #44 tearin down the ice, shootin the puck into the opposing team's fans, many rides on the hockey bus, all of our phone calls, theology class and all of your antics, teachin me to drive standard in your jeep, senior...

sorry for your loss
god will look over him and you

I only knew Adam for a couple of years. We met through a best friend of his, Dylan. Although I wasn't around during those infamous hockey days, I heard all of the stories from the goal scoring to the behind the scenes locker room antics. In getting to know Adam he was everything Dylan had made him out to be and more, vivacious and spirited, yet quietly charming. I will always remember that smile and contagious laugh. Adam was such a gift to this world. He was a genuinely good person and a...

Hey, No. 44. Seems like yesterday you were passing the puck to yourself off the back of Ben's net and heading off down the ice, making the other team's players look like pylons in a skating drill. You played with "attitude" --that's what made you so much fun to watch. I was privileged to see most if not all of your 57 goals and 40 assists. Thanks for touching our lives; I know it would have been a lot less interesting for Ben, Dorene and me if you hadn't been there. Rest in peace, Adamo.

It is always traggic when a person at such a young age dies. It is even more heart rentching when he/she is a love one.
A person just a little while ago told me this about my one of my family members, that God must have had a very important mission for Adam to do, to take him so quickly that loved ones had no chance to say there good byes.
To the Tharp entire family, I know in my heart how you are all feeling during this time of loss. I know Adam will be misssed by so many...

What can I say about you, Adam Tharp? A vibrant young man, full of life. I think about the mysterious flying puck at the Fairfield game and I grin. You had an amazing shot. Life is like a hockey game really. All you need is one goal. God won the game Saturday and the trophy was you. How fortunate heaven is to have you. You were a great friend to Dylan through thick and thin.
Your young lives are so precious and yet so close to death at any moment. Adam, your smile lit up a room. I...
