“Adam was a loving husband and an incredible father of Lenny and Billie. We are devastated to lose such a great husband, father, son and brother.
“We will miss Adam deeply – his spirit, his kindness and the joy he brought to every room. His determination, the lessons he shared, and his infectious personality will always stay with us.
“Adam had a unique ability to make people feel special, and our family was lucky to experience that every day.”
