Robb, Barb & Family: It's hard to imagine it's been 2 years since Adam left on his Heavenly journey. Every time we pass your house, or see a young man riding his bicycle on the road near our homes, we think of him. We always have good thoughts about Adam. CJ really enjoyed when they did things together, such as checking out all the bugs in the area, as children. Such sweet times shall always be remembered. We pray God continues to ease your sorrow & keep those wonderful memories always clear. CJ & Family

Adam
You were one of the most extraordinary people I've ever known. Your adventurous spirit and insatiable curiosity were an inspiration to even an old lady like me.
I loved your sense of humor - and how we would giggle like children together, or cackle like hyenas, when we weren't being quite so nice.
You were, are, one of my most favorite people on the planet.
I hope you are where you wanted to be, but wherever you end up, I know you will be welcomed joyfully.

I love you, my holy brother. Baruch Dayan HaEmes. I will miss you with my whole heart. Thank you for inspiring me to be a better person and a better Jew. I will greatly miss our long deep and philosophical talks going into the morning. I'll miss your photography and the life you lived. With love always.
