We are so sorry to hear of the loss of Adam. The kids and I enjoyed seeing him for the two summers that we spent Wednesday mornings at Cub Club at Willow Brook. He loved to see the kids, hug them, shake their hand, and occasionally hold them. He was a resident we looked forward to seeing on Wednesday mornings and getting to visit with. His sweet personality will surely be missed when we are there visiting and doing activities with the other residents. May you find comfort during this time.

What a bright light Adam was to our memory care unit. He was always smiling, joking and singing the Notre Dame fight song. He loved children! Our 10-year-old grandson, George, would give hiim big hugs when they came to visit. He actually cried when he heard of Adam's passing. His bright light will be sorely missed. Our prayers to the family!
