Two years ago today, Adam left us.  Still remember my mom telling me what had happened.  Just the shock.  I still miss you Adam.  You were a great friend and I couldn't have asked for a better best friend growing up.  Continuing to pray every night for Adam's family and friends, especially his mom and fiance. God bless!

I cannot believe it has been a year since Adam passed away.  Time goes by so quickly.  Adam was a great friend to me growing up and I still, and will always, miss him.  My prayers go out to all of Adam's friends and family, especially his mom and fiance.  I pray that God will cover you with his loving arms and provide you with peace and comfort that only He can.  Love you Adam.

I did not know Mr Banicki but I had to write the note.  I have a brother and many  friends that work for the same company.  Please accept my condolence.  I am so sorry to hear about his death.  I will pray for his family and his fiance'.

Adam...an outstanding man who will be often remembered for his smile and for being a Great Guy,Friend and colleague. Ruth,Sarah Family and the hundreds of Friends will suffer the loss of Adam for a long time but will remember the Good that was Adam always. I Do miss him so.

Adam, I was deeply saddened to learn of your passing. You always will have a special place in my heart as one of the good guys. I remember when I came up to package and needed help, u would always come to bail me out, u didn't come and get a few stops, u did what it took to make sure I was gonna be okay. We lost a great guy when u passed, but HEAVEN GAINED AN ANGEL. I will never forget u my friend, we shall meet again...may u R.I.P.

I am very sorry for your loss and offer my deepest sympathy to the family. May the God who gives peace provide all that you need to cope with losing Adam.

Adam, I don't even know where to start.  The news of your passing last week has left me numb and my heart grieves for you. It feels like a part of me is gone.  Adam and I grew up together in the same neighborhood and he was without a doubt my best friend in those 10-15 years. We were library aides together at Bayview Elementary, we did the school announcements over the intercom together there(desperately trying not to make each other laugh), spent our after school hours and summer days playing G.I. Joe, Transformers, Voltron, Nintendo. We watched Godzilla movies and TV shows like Chips, The Monkees, etc.  We went swimming, rode our bikes and skateboards around the neighborhood, and created our own worlds in each other's yards.  We chased after his cat Leo when he would subtlely sneak out the front door.  We played baseball, football, four-square and soccer out in the street.  We went to Ed White together and I still remember the day he got his first car.  We thought we were so cool the first school day when we pulled into the Ed White parking lot in Adam's sweet yellowish ride.  I went with Adam to Gainesville when his cat Tony was sick, which ended up being one of the last times we were able to spend real quality time together. It's hard to think of one childhood memory that Adam wasn't a part of.  It felt like we did everthing together. Then, as happens to most childhood friends, we grew up and our lives went down different paths.  I would still see him occassionaly mowing his mom's yard and we would wave to one another but that was about it.  I never wanted to bother him, I knew he was busy. Now, I wish more than anything I would have bothered him, just to have spoken to him again.  So, I guess in writing this, this is my chance to speak with him again:  Adam, I want you to know that you, along with my wife, are the best, most loyal friend I've ever had. I have never forgotten and have always cherished our friendship.  I wish you would have met my wife and daughter, even though they feel like they know you because of all the stories I've told them about you over the years.  Your friendship meant the world to me and I will never forget you.  Thank you for all the great times and memories.  I love you, my brother, my best friend. You were taken from us way too soon but I know I will see you again some day, "B".

My heartfelt condolences, prayers and sympathy to Adam's wonderful mother, Ms. Ruth, to his fiance (who I never have had the pleasure of meeting, but I know must be wonderful, because Adam loves her) and to all his friends and family.  My prayer for all of you is to know that we will all see Adam again some day and that fact will bring you comfort in the days, weeks and years to come.  God bless.

Ruth and Sarah, 
We are so sorry for your loss. Adam was a fine loving young man and he will be missed by all of us. In this most difficult time in your life, may our sympathy and heartfelt condolences bring you comfort.

Ruth,

l saw Adam last month and we kept in touch periodically just to check in. I loved Adam very much and he has always been a wonderful friend to me. He was there when my son was born, he was in my wedding, and he was there after my divorce as a stronghold, and taught me how to play golf. He will be missed very much and those fond memories I have had over the last 18 years will never be forgotten. He was one of my best friends now and always. I learned so much from his positivity and his giving spirit. He was very charming and genuine. We used to play golf every weekend for many years and learned so much from your son. He loved life and lived with conviction. He made me laugh. He loved you very much and wanted to help you as much as he could and was very proud to be your son. If you need anything, or want to hear some stories, please call me 904-333-1353

Sunny Greer

Sarah,

I remember when he met you years ago. He loved you very much and has always loved you. He used to talk about you all time even before I met you and years ago he said, " I am going to marry that girl!". He was happy and you made him happy. I rarely ever saw him without a smile. I know you are hurting and all of us are. Stay strong knowing that he served a purpose here and made so many people happy and blessed to call him a friend.

Ms.Ruth I'm so sorry for your loss.   Adam was a amazing man.  There was no kinder and gentler than he. I loved your son so much and I still do.  What a impact he had on my children's lives for many years. I will miss him terribly.
