It is with a heavy heart we share the news of the passing of our dear friend and colleague Adrian on Friday, October 3, 2008.
Adrian showed amazing courage during his battle with cancer over the last 6 and a half months exhibiting that strong and determined character we all knew him to possess to the end of his journey.
We will miss him greatly, yet we are thankful his suffering is at an end, and he is now embarked on a new Journey, one free of pain - where he can again soar like an eagle.
