My deepest sympathy to my dear friend Mary, and all of the Adam family for your loss.
His awesome contribution to humankind is evidenced by his love of his fellow man.
He gave of himself to family, friends, and patients. God will surely bless
him also for sharing his wonderful gift of music.

Rest in Heavenly Peace, John.

I was saddened to read of Dr. Adam's death. My heartfelt sympathy to his family. I worked as his secretary for almost 10years, alternating days with his other secretary, Marsha. He was a kind and generous man and I enjoyed my years working for him and his patients. I know many times a patient would ask me if I was one of his daughters, I beleive they had all worked for him at one time. I also had the priviledge of listening to him play in the Doctor's Band in Syracuse. He was a great musician and the patients looked forward to listening to the band. I will cherish the fond memories I have of him and his family. May God comfort his family and friends at this time.
