Richard, Ingrid, Thomas & Tina,
I will always remember our fun times as neighbors especially playing in the snow making an igloo with my brothers, Thomas, Tina and I. When you were around Adrian he was always smiling, laughing and joking. He was very comical. I always had a fun time whether we were talking or playing as young kids. My heart goes out to you all at this difficult time. Sending you caring thoughts and prayers. Love, Chris Boty(Haberstumpf) 1714 Furnace St
