  • Adrian was a nice guy and a good firefighter. We fought some of the same fires in my early years when we were on the same shift.I hope he enjoyed a well deserved retirement. My condolences to his family. - Posted by: Scott Miner (Collegue) on: Sep 07, 2016

  • Sorry for your loss from all of us. He was a great neighbour and friend. He was also a great family men loved he's kids and grandkids. We have a lot of great memories of him especially when we were both in the cattle business. We both knew that when one of our cattle or many crossed the fence they were ok until we got them back home. We had a lot of laughing and joking going on when he came over. He also filled out papers for us to become foster parents 29 years ago and we are still foster parents. Thank you for your kind caring person that you were in our memories of you. May God wrap his loving arms around you and give you the rewards you earned on earth. Thank you for everything and we send hugs to Mrs.Kelly and family.
