Adam,
Another year missing you here in Rehoboth. Always grateful for you introducing us to this town. We love it. I'm still looking for a good barber after all these years. With love. Peter & Paul

Another year and think of you more and more. I probably tell the story every few weeks to clients asking me how did I get to Rehoboth Beach. I tell them how we met on vacation in San Diego and became friends and now Peter & I live here over 16 years. Thank you Adam. You always told people that you didn't know whether to take the blame or the credit. Take the credit. We love it and love and miss you. RIP.
XOXO
Peter & Paul

I can't believe 10 years have passed since you left us. I think of you often, especially when I'm bouncing from stylist to stylist trying to find someone to even come close to filling your shoes...I still try and show them your tricks of giving this fat face fuller hair by making me flip my head over and fill it with 10 round brushes at once! I miss you Adam, I miss walking out of your chair and up Walnut Street feeling like a million dollars...never once thinking "I can't wait to get home and fix my hair", which is all I do after a cut now. More importantly, I miss my friend. I miss our talks, our laughs, even sometimes tears. I miss sharing stories. I miss you. I wish...well I wish so much. But I truly wish you are at peace. We love and miss you. Love Cheryl and Hanna

My sincerest condolences to Stephen and to Adam's family. I was truly shocked and deeply saddened to hear the terrible news. Adam was my stylist and friend for the last 13 years. He always brightened my day and made me feel beautiful. I will miss him terribly.

My sincere sympathy to Steven and Adam's family.
Adam was a wonderful, caring, kind and sensitive person I always looked forward to having my haircut because I got to see Adam! He gave me the best haircut ever, and I always felt pretty after Adam did my hair. More important, however, was conversing with Adam. He was sincerely interested in me and what was happening in my life,
Adam-I will miss you dearly. May you be at peace.

I was so saddened to hear the news about Adam. He was such a wonderful guy-- so full of life and goodness. A few days after my father died, while I was sitting under a dryer at THUNDER Adam ran across the street and bought me 3 dozen white roses. He was a such a nice person. It is so sad that he's gone.

I am so saddened to hear about Adam. What a wonderful, generous, lively person. I was at Thunder a few days after my father died and while I was under the dryer, Adam ran across the street and bought me 3 dozen white roses. He had such a wonderful heart. Rest in Peace, Adam.

My thoughts and prayers to Steve, Adam's family and all his friends. Adam:“May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.” So sorry to hear that you left us far too soon. I will miss seeing you and your warm smile in Old City! Your former neighbor at BVP: Karen

To Adams family, may God bring you comfort at this most difficult time. I searched for Adam and Andy for years with no luck in locating them. This is not how I envisioned finding one of my best school friends. We had a blast and those memories will last throughout my lifetime. Fairwell my friend.

To Adams family and beloved friends - my deepest sympathies
I am shocked and saddened to loose my dear friend Adam. He was kind and generous, volunteering at Ronald McDonald House, making life a little bit more beautiful everyone, and he was funny, so funny, he could make me laugh till I cried over the silliest things.
I came to Adam young, over bleached and over permed. He always made me feel beautiful inside and out.
I have so many happy memories of Adam. He helped me get through all the stages of life. He fixed my hair for my wedding day. He met me at the shop early in the morning, it was snowing, but he was there. The time he and Stephen came to our house for my son Alexander’s first haircut. I have pictures of that day, Alex with his little cape on and Adam goofing around with his scissors. Adam loved my son. That is one of his most endearing qualities, how he loved and connected with children. Adam comforted me through my broken hearts and took me out to have fun. I remember walking into Thunder, checking in with Nicoletta, and then going to Adam for a kiss and a “Hi Hon”. Adam was so charming and handsome and he dressed so beautifully especially his fabulous shoes. He will always be in my heart. I will never forget my beautiful friend Adam.

We love you honey and will miss you always! I pray for sunny and peaceful skies for you, always have, always will.
