I first met Adam in 1971 when I signed on as a Special Agent with U.S. Customs. I worked along side of him on many occasions. He was very hard working, dedicated and professoal in his work, We all appreciated his amazing sense of humor even in tough and stressful situations. He has been a continued friend to so many of us in retirement. My condolences to his wonderful wife Pat, his children and grandchildren.
Adam and I were Special Agents in Chicago for many years. He was always dependable and full of fun and made people laugh. I will miss him.
We were very sorry to hear of Adam's death. We'll remember his sense of humor. Respectfully Ron and Eileen
