We are sorry to hear about your loss. I worked with Adrian in Roanoke Rapids. He was a joy to work with and a friend on and off the job. He will be greatly missed. I look forward to our time together in heaven. Until then, I hope you will find comfort in our Lord.

I worked with Adrain when he worked for the telephone company in Roanoke Rapids. He always enjoyed telling of his many experiences and was a dedicated employee. He was a proud veteran and patriot. He had a mild manner but had strong opinions when it came to work ethic, Family, and country. He was a pleasure to be around, either socially or in work situations. I always respected his telephony experience and expertise. Lost contact with him over the years when he and I both retired, but I know he will be missed by Rosalyn, family , and friends. Sympathy to you all!
