Idle curiosity led me to Google Sweet Pea's name. We played football together as children and my father coached us. My father and I often reminisce about the kids I played with and he coached. We can't have the conversation without Adrian's name coming up. To look him up and find an obituary is saddening for both of us. I haven't seen Adrian since 1994 but I can still remember his smile, his antics and his blistering speed on the football field. We just wanted his loved ones to know the impression he left has stayed with us all this time. Our thoughts are with you during this untimely mourning.
