My sincere thoughts and prayers go out to Adam's family and friends. He will be missed by all. I came to know Adam well this Spring as he worked for me at my tree farm near Yale. He was a fantastic employee and a wonderful young man. I shall always remember the work he did for me in my business. I would take him back in a minute if I could.
My thoughts are with all of you.
Kindly,
