We will always miss Adam but he has left us with many a fond memory. Adam was a veteran like myself and I thought this poem was appropriate. We wish our friend Fair winds and a following sea.

A Sailor's Prayer

Sailors pray,
For fair winds and a following sea

The smell of salt in the air,
The feel of their skin as it's touched by the spray

An albatross soaring above,
Dolphins in the ship's wake at play

To witness a work of art that only God can create,
The sunset at the end of day

At night a million stars in the sky,
Safe anchorage in an islands lee

When the time comes to die as for all it must,
To awake in Sailors Heaven where nothing ever rusts

And always there would be,
Fair winds and a following sea

OMGoodness, this hurt my heart. I went with him to my first comic con back in 2016. I went as Agent Peggy Carter and I had a great time. He also helped me move into my apartment. He was a kind man. I loved being his FB friend. My heart is sad. God bless you my friend.
