Adam was a close friend of mine.

Oh Claire, I have so many memories of you and your Dad, Adam. Remember when you guys came right over and Adam immediately set to work cutting some plywood and secured my window after my break-in? He helped me several times with my yard. I think of all the baked goods you guys made and brought over to make me fat. Your Dad encouraged you in all your projects for your STEM classes. He even bought cow parts for you to dissect and demonstrate your class. You brought me the first 3-D object I ever had and he taught you how to use the printer. He also taught your teacher and your classmates. He tutored and encouraged kids. He was always the parent that set up and worked to make the school functions go smoothly for you guys. He encouraged your sewing/crafts, your art and your cooking. I am so glad he would let us go to movies, shopping, out to eat with always a, “you girls have fun.” He gave such attention to your birthday parties and the trips you took. I am so glad I knew him and I am so sorry for your loss. Your Mom is right there to comfort and support you. Love, Virginia
Tom and I are so very sad to hear of Adam's passing. Our condolences to the entire King family.
