It is never easy to lose a loved one, I pray you find comfort in Gods promise found at John 6:40 which says that soon we will see all our loved ones again. My deepest condolences to the family.

My deepest condolences to the Adams family. Losing a loved one in death is one of life's most difficult challenges. At Hosea 13:14, God has promised to empty all the graves as we welcome back to life our loved ones. May you and your family find strength in that promise.

Andy was one of my first supervisors. I was able to tell him last year that he was one of the best I ever had. He was always an easygoing gentleman.He will be missed.

So sad to learn of Drew's passing. I lost touch with Drew many years ago but hearing of his passing I started to think of all the good times we shared growing with the north side gang and college. The many hours spent playing what ever sport was in season no matter what the weather or waiting for the grass to be cut in the field next to their house so we could play ball until dark or the factory whistle blew at eight o'clock. Playing hearts into the wee hours while Drew and/or Tony baby sat Charles's kids. The snowball and tomato fights and the camp outs that always had to have a fire. I remember the evening of December 1, 1969 as a group of us sat around the TV with ice cold beers waiting for the military draft lottery numbers to be drawn and the look on Drew's face when September 14 was the first number drawn. Probable the only lottery Drew ever won.

Played baseball with the guys as kids - Tony and Andy on Front Street - me on Van Epps. Lost track of both guys after graduation. Very sorry to hear of his passing. We missed both of them at the 50th class reunion last fall.
