My condolences to you and the family on the loss of Adam. Kind, gentle man and always outgoing and upbeat whenever I would see him at my dad's (Joe Grochal) grave. He will certainly leave wonderful memories to all who had he pleasure of knowing him.

I was truly saddened to hear of Adam's passing. I was not only his banker for over thirty years in Duryea but I considered him a friend. He was always extremely loyal to his church, the American Legion, and VFW of Duryea. He was a man of conviction and I'm proud to have been a part of his life. May he rest in peace. I will miss him!

My good friend, Adam, I will miss you. I am so happy that I had the chance to see you during Easter vigil. I remember well all the times we served as ushers together at Holy Rosary. May God keep you safely in the palm of His hand until we meet again.
