well as we come to the end of another boating season i cant help but to think of adam. I work at a marina that pat and adam used to garace us with there presence. i sold my old boat to adam, it was a project boat that was all apart, adam put it back together in record time. i sure hope he enjoyed it. the boat came back to coeymans a few weeks ago with a fine crew, pat wells at the helm along with a couple guys i have never met but will never forget, adams dad and brother. we ended up in the bar if you can imagine that.it was great to meet those guys and if you hear paul jr laugh and close your eyes you would swear it was adam.well we were all over served so pat and paul jr had to come the next day to pick up adams boat, i untied them and watched them putt out of our harbor with kid rocks song summertime blaring from the boat, i have that memory burnt in my mind. I hope to see paul sr and jr again soon.

To Adam's Family, I' ve known Adam from hanging out and from working on boats and every day we've experienced lifes best and worst. I'll always love him as wonderful friend, just like a son! I can't imagine him not calling me anymore but I'll always hear him laughing, he engraved that into my heart.So God watch him! He's quick like a mongoose and He'll always be a good boy! Love Him, Miss Him, Can't wait to see him again! Sorry so much, Pat

My heart and prayers go out to Adams's family and closest friends. I was real close with Adam a few years ago. And he was a great friend,which we shared many laughs and great times I wouldn't trade for the world. He will always live on in spirit, and never to be forgotten. I will not say goodbye, but instead I will say see you soon....til we meet again my friend, I send my love and may you rest in peace.

Paul and family,
Having worked closely with Adam for the last three months was a pleasure and an honor. He made us laugh with his quick wit and humor. He brought new ideas that made our jobs easier to deal with. He was one of the most well rounded young guys I've ever met. He was intelligent, resourceful, physically unstopable, and respectful. He called me Mr. Wayne. I liked that. He will remain in my thoughts and my heart until the day we meet again. My guess is God took Adam because something in Heaven needed fixing.

I am very sorry for your loss. I have only known Adam a short time and really didnt know him very well. But the little that I do know- he was very sweet and very charming. He will be missed.

Our family was fortunate enough to have a wonderful visit from Adam just a few days before his accident, when he was saying goodbye to our son John, who was moving to Texas for a new job. Adam has been like a family member to us for years, and was John's very best friend - they were always together getting into something...
We loved Adam like he was family, and he visited us from time to time, always with that big smile and a story to tell. For those who know Adam, you can understand how he always left us laughing, and sometimes also shaking our heads at the things that he would do! But we always felt better after he stopped by, he just had that special touch.
My son has lost his best friend, and we all have lost something by him not being here with us. But speaking for my family, we are greatful for fine man he had become, and the way he permanently touched our son, our family and our lives in the very best way. His smile and kindness will always be with us.

To the family of Adam M. Nieckarz
I knew Adam mostly from the
Hudson River where I met him where he worked on boats. He was always fun and a pleasure to be around. He would always take a moment to take off his mask and say something to me while he was working, no matter how dirty from sanding fiberglass he was. If he wasn't working we would talk about hunting turkeys or something to do with the outdoors. We will all miss Adam and our thoughts go out to everyone in your family.
Tiffanie
August 20, 2008
I was lucky enough to call Adam a friend for the past 6 years, when I moved to Cambridge he was one of the first people to make me feel welcomed into a new school. He was an amazing friend. You could call Adam no matter what time it was for anything and he always made time to listen or if you needed help with something he would stop what he was doing and come help you out. His personality and smile could light up a room and no matter what your mood was Adam could get you to smile and feel like there was nothing in the world to bring you down.
Adam you will be greatly missed and never forgotten.

August 19, 2008
To a man I can call a friend although I have only known for a few of years. To a craftsman and hard worker that never seemed to stop. To a friend who always had the time to stop and say hello or joke no matter how busy he was. To a professional who took great pride in his job. To a simple person who enjoyed his loud exhaust and had a true love for boats. Finally, to a friend who knew how to live life to its fullest. You will be missed and will remain with us in spirit always at the Marina.
God bless Adam & his family / friends.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you as you try to find ways to move on without your loved one. I did not know Adam only knew of him through my son (Brian) who worked with him in Troy with the Army Corp of Engineers. I understand he was a wonderful young man who was taken away far too soon. Hold your memories of Adam close to your heart and he will be there forever.

My heart broke when John called to tell me of Adam's death. I have so many memories of the times he spent here at my home. He was a good boy, a wonderful friend to John, and like a member of my family. I'm so happy that I saw him 2 weeks ago and got a last hug from him. He had grown into such a handsome young man. I will miss him for the rest of my life. My deepest sympathy to your family. This is a terrible loss.

Paul and Family: Words cannot express our deepest sympathy for the loss of your son and brother. I cannot image there could be a deeper pain and I pray I will never have to endure it. I pray that you will find strength in God and your family. Remember who you are and Adam was apart of you. Keep his memory alive through you. It may have been many years since we have been in touch Paul but Good Friends never leave us. God Bless.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived
okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here
is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you
every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up
and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were
gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for
me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's
chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life
on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not
be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But
one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a
time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will
give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day
was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the
way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick
him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in
your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember
you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

My heart is heavy as I write to the family and friends of Adam. I knew him for such a short time, but he always made me smile. What I will remember most about him is his respect and kindness...and of course...that infectious smile. Heaven has a new angle and if we can no longer have him here with us...it's nice to know that he is there watching over us. To his family...Allison and I will never forget him, give our condolences to you, and will keep his memory alive in our hearts forever.

It is with a heavy, heavy heart I write this and send my condolences to the family of Adam. May his entire family find peace at this most trying time. I have found peace in the following prayer and I would like to share it with you.
When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom filled room, Why cry for a soul set free.
Miss me a little but not too long
And not with your head bowed low,
Remember the love that we once shared,
Miss me-but let me go. For this is a journey we all must take and each must go alone. It's all a part of the Master's plan, A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick of heart, go to the friends you know. And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds, Miss me-but let me go.
God Bless the entire Nieckarz’s Family.

I only met Adam one time for about 30 minutes. It was all I needed to know what a quality young man he was. My brother bragged about him often, always mentioning his fantastic work ethic. He will be greatly missed. My condolences to all who knew this fine young man who was taken too soon. Keep him in your memories and my family and I will keep his family and friends in our prayers in order that they might find peace. I'm so sorry for your/our loss.
