I met Adam and his family shortly after moving to San Antonio in 1991.
We lived in adjoining apartments.
Over the years, he showed me all around the city...places that I never would have seen.
We had many wonderful times together, and I'll never forget him.
Rest in peace, Adam, and I'll see you again!

Adam and I go way back to when we were both young men, working together at Wittigs Office Furniture and Payless Office Furniture. He loved to cook out at the store and serve delicious brisket. He was always kind to everyone and had a smile on his face. Ruth meant so much to him and he loved his children very much.

It was such an honor to be a part of his healthcare team, and I was so sad when I heard about his passing this morning. Despite the circumstances, he made each and every one of us laugh, and we were all so happy to see what a beautiful family and support system he had. I'm certain I speak on behalf of everyone on PCU when I say you have our deepest condolences. We are truly sorry for your loss.

I have so many fond memories of Adam and his family.
We met early in 1991 and shared many a meal and afternoon together by the pool (and later at his house) over many years.
My prayers are with all of his family now in their time of grief, but they have so much to be proud of because of this wonderful man.
