Steve and Marge I was shocked to hear about Adam's passing. He was the sweetest and so funny. But most of all he was a good dad. He will be missed. Take care of Mr. Koltyn

So sad to hear of Adam's passing. Adam was my Sales Rep at Cartridge World. He wasn't just an employee though. He was a good friend and we had many laughs together. He recently bought my weight set for Koltyn where I met Koltyn and his Dad. I'm so glad I got to see Adam and his father and son. He ALWAYS talked about Koltyn and was VERY proud of him! RIP Adam.

I am so sorry for the loss of Adam. I knew Adam as my Supervisor through Landstar. He had such a dry sense of humor and he made me laugh! I did not know him that long but he did a GREAT job as my Supervisor! Adam was so easy to talk too and he was so personable! Adam will be missed....
