Adam worked for me while I was the section forman for the Burlington Northern RR at Miles City. He was a good employee. Alway availabe when needed and very proud of his job. It seems he was always busy doing something even during his breaks. I sure enjoyed working around him. He will be missed.

My Uncle Adam… I only met him once at my Granny’s funeral. I am so glad I at least got to meet him before this life passed us by. I love all my family!
