Ron--I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your son. John Scott told me about Adam. I went to school with you at IU. Pam & John Dickenson's are good friends of mine. Prayers for you and your family.

Karen and Ron, What a privilege it was to have had such a talented and good-natured student as Adam in my classes. And how lucky he was to have had parents who provided an environment in which he could thrive. I will always remember Adam fondly, and I'm sure the same is true of all his teachers. Please accept my condolences on your loss. Sincerely, Bill Knight

I cannot express my grief and loss for Adam adequately in my own words; I fear they would be feeble and weak. Because truly, with rue my heart is laden at the loss of my friend.
---
With rue my heart is laden
For golden friends I had,
For many a rose-lipt maiden
And many a lightfoot lad.
By brooks too broad for leaping
The lightfoot boys are laid;
The rose-lipt girls are sleeping
In fields where roses fade.
