Dear Tera and the Goldsmith Family;



I'am truly beside myself that we have lost Adam, a great husband, friend and relative. Adam was introduced to me through the District Office of Farmers Insurance in Bozeman, MT. He was a truly intelligent man and had a jovial personality every time we met. Tera my heart goes out to you to have to sustain such a tramatic ordeal. My blessing to Adam's family as you endure a great loss.

You all should know that we have lost an amazing person on this earth who had done great things in his life. Adam we will forever have you in our thoughts and prayers. Until we meet again,

Your Friend,

To the entire Goldsmith family and all who loved him,



We all had been enjoying ourselves one evening when we were in high school. The conversation settled when we noticed Adam standing off to the side, staring out into the backyard, lost in thought. Sensing our curiousity at this, Adam states; "I could build a shed."



This still remains one of my favorite memories from high-school.



Adam lightened every life he touched and he will remain in the hearts of many, myself included, for all the years to come.

Dear Barb, Howie and the Goldsmith Family:



It saddens our hearts to hear of Adam’s loss. It seems like yesterday that he was boating up and down the lake in his aluminum boat flying past our place to wave to his Great Uncle Cliff as he went on to his next adventure. Our son Stephen always said one of the best things about his childhood was spending the summers on the lake. We know Adam felt the same way.



We can only imagine your loss, and pray that everyone will remember the fine young man that was always happy and smiling when we saw him on Pine River Pond. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and for Tera’s full recovery.





All our love,

Jennifer Moench (Hansen)

Tera & Family -



I knew Adam when he worked in Bozeman. Adam not only helped me learn insurance but also helped me in my life. He helped me see that life was not all about a career and that some sacrifices were not worth it. I changed my career path and moved – where I am married and enjoying life. Adam helped me realized many things. For that my life is different and I will always be truly thankful and always grateful. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Words cannot express our sorrow for you, Steven and Tera. Take time to remember all the good times you spent with Adam. Remember when Adam stomped up the back stair case in church during Alan's sermon when he was 3 or 4?

Adam was a wonderful son, brother & husband and he will be missed very much. I wish you enough.

Tera and the Goldsmith family, I wish I could find words that would comfort each of you, but there are no words to describe the loss of someone like Adam. I have known him for as long as I can remember. He was a great guy, wonderful sense of humor and a great friend, especially to my brother Mike. He will be deeply missed. You will all remain in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Tera & Goldsmith Family,



I am deeply saddened and so very sorry to hear about Adam.



Adam, or "Reuben" as I fondly called him; (because he loved Reuben sandwiches) was always so much fun to be around with his quick wit and warm smile that would light up a room. He loved to joke with my staff and myself; I will truly miss that!



He was a wonderful person and I'll miss his friendship very much!



I'll never forget his love for the Boston Red Sox and he just couldn't believe that I went to school with Bill Buckner. I had to bring my old High School Yearbooks to prove it to him! He enjoyed looking at all the pictures and commentaries of the young Bill.



My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

I was deeply saddened by the news of this tragic accident. When I moved to Sudbury during High School I was immediately accepted and befriended by Adam and his outgoing personality. In the 3 short years that I knew him well, he was a kind and generous person who was always up for a laugh and good time.



My thoughts and prayers are with all of you and a special prayer for Tera Lin’s speedy recovery.

I remember Adam was the first of Conways family i met and he made me feel very welcome. One of the first questions he asked me was if i had insurance and told me of the different kinds i should have. He was always good to our children and will always be remembered.



My heart goes out to all the family. And to Tera we love you and are in our prayers. With love and sympathy Con, Des, Hayden, and Tori.

I would just like to say how very sorry I am to Adam's family and especially to his wife, Tera.



Adam was a wonderful person and a good friend to me and I will miss him very much.



Adam helped me so much in starting my career with Farmers Insurance. I could not have done it without his advice and guidance. For that, I will be forever grateful.



You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
