Adam was a friend through my serving with him in Rotary and on the Grady Hospital Board. I respected him for his considered and constructive approach to the issues presented. He was pleasant. The community is a better place for his contributions. My condolences to his family.

I considered Adam one of the great mentors of my life. I worked at PPG with him for a number of years. We both retired on the same day in 2001. I will miss him greatly. We would occasionally meet for lunch and he always shared great wisdom with me. My sincere condolences to the entire family.
