I first met Adam nearly 60 years ago. Over the years, Adam became a great friend to me and my father. We shared many good times discussing sports, occasionally playing golf and enjoying a few cold beers. Adam had a beautiful disposition that endeared him to everyone. He will be missed. Rest easy my friend.
