Marge and family,
Adrian was such a kind and gentle soul. We loved how passionate he was about speaking Italian to my Dad and talking about his Italian upbringing. He loved you all so much and the loss of his presence is overwhelming, but know that he is with the Master Carpenter, looking over you always.
