To my dear friends Marie-Claire and Mimi - my thoughts will be with you this Saturday 20.4.2024… I Met Adam only once or twice in Montréal and he Showed me during a weekend east Quebec ( Arcadie)
With a lot of nature and seashores….that was what he loved in his life! RIP

I played hockey with Adam and enjoyed running into him when he was in town.
It was always nice to hear about what kind of birds or animals he had recently observed.
I think most people agree that it would be nice to have more people like Adam in the world.

I worked with Adam at DIAND - we crossed paths when we retired but he always had a good thing to say about life ..

Talked to Adam before Christmas when I bumped into him when he was in town shopping. Always had good talk . Got to know Adam quite well when we were both directors with the Fish and Game Assc. I will miss our talks .

Adam was great in the dressing room. He once stated when we were having trouble keeping the puck out of our net that 'entropy was increasing in our end'.
Rip Adam

I’m very saddened to hear the news. I never met him, I heard only great things about ADAM. Myriam and Joe were always in contact with ADAM, they told me he loved photography and was well known in the industry of photography. Fishing! He must of had talent from the picture displayed.
So sad he looked very healthy and happy!
GOD BLESS HIM!

We are deeply saddened by Adam's unexpected passing. He was still so full of life and looked forward to his trip to Montreal this April. Adam will be missed in the Cottage Lots. Sincere condolences to his family and friends. Sonja and Paul
