I am a former neighbor of Adam's on Clark Street in Iowa City. He walked, first Bella and then Lilly, by my house every day. We had a neighborly friendship, casual and important. When he moved from our street, he promised he'd stop by some time. And he did, just this last summer - letting Lilly come bounding across the street to greet me! I was so glad to see them again.
Adam was indeed charming and kind. I am thankful to have known him and so very sorry he is gone.
