A beautiful soul
Adam's sister Rebecca and I were colleagues. I never met Adam but when reading his eulogy wished that our lives crossed paths. It is evident that he has a rare and beautiful soul.

re: WHILE ALIVE HE LIVED
He was outstanding. I met him at Wharton and although 10 years younger than most of the students in the class – we all were in awe of him. He was a doer, a builder an optimist while at the same time pragmatic. One could not ask for a better friend in times of need. He will be missed but never forgotten

To A Dear Friend That I Will Never Forget
Adam was a do"er" driven to make everything and everyone better than they thought they could be. His charisma and sense of humor will be deeply missed - our prayers are with you.

I only knew Adam a short time. He blindly attended my bachelor party and we immediately became good friends. He has touched us all in a special way. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

re: my surf buddy
I met Adam a few years ago through some of his business partners and related team in Vieques. He was such a warm and friendly guy, despite his career demands. He wanted me to take him surfing, teach him the ropes here in PR, and just this summer I was trying to find a board for him to get him in the water before the winter season. I greatly enjoyed your dinner parties here Adam and thank you for including me in your crew, and for being a friend. We all miss you, and are deeply saddened. Somehow we will make something positive of all this. Your surf buddy.

Remembering Adam
Adam made a deep impression on me with his general decency, great capacity for caring, rare teaching skills, and his outstanding commitment to his family. I especially enjoyed watching him interact with his Zeidi Tully...those two shared a unique friendship. And Adam's love and concern for Becky... an inspiration for big brothers everywhere.

I will always remember
I will always remember Adams smile it was so genuine. I will always remember Adam bowing to Mrs. Chang after math class and thanking her with that same smile. I will always remember being in awe of my grade ten class mate personanlly dealing with a stock broker. I will always remember Adam dancing in Isreal with new Ethiopian immigrants ( I can still see his shoulders bouncing up and down as fast as he could make them). I can still see Adam if I close my eyes even though I haven't seen him in 6 years .
I never want to forget and I always want to remember him.

Rebecca's Brother, Adam
I met and got to know Rebecca this past summer in DC. I am sorry under these circumstances that I'm learning about what an amazing brother, Adam, she has. I can see what an inspiration Adam has been not only to his family, but to all who came into his path. He was truly a lover of life and Rebecca, he'll be an angel looking over you and your family forever.

re: My dear friend, Adam
Words will never ever describe the ache that I have had in my heart from the very second that I heard the sad news about Adam.
I really missed seeing Adam at Shul for Rosh Hashanah this year. Adam and his dad had seats in the shul where we could see each other perfectly. For many years, when ever Adam was in town for the High Holidays, I always looked forward to seeing him, if only for a few moments. We usually communicated during prayers with smiles that did not require words, and expressions that demonstrated the mutual excitement to finally see each other after several months. This year, I walked into shul with a sadness that I cannot describe. I walked in just as the shofar was sounding, and that was the moment when I look over to where he use to sit and instead of the smiles and excitement, I cried, and could not stop crying. At that very moment, the realization hit me like a ton of bricks. I had lost someone very special to me. The High Holidays will never be the same for me again. I will forever miss seeing his smiling face and hearing his beautiful voice that filled the shul whenever he read from the Torah. I will forever remember my dear friend, Adam. I will never forget the good times we had, and the special moments we shared.A candle will forever be lit in my heart for him. All my love, thoughts and prayers will always be with Adam's most wonderful family.

Character & A Half
Adam taught me a lot about life & love. He really knew how to do things right. He could never do anything low key; everything had to be a production. Now that he is gone, I never realized how many things in my daily life are attributed to Adam's influence. I am so thankful that I met him, and got to know him as well as I did. I'll have the image burned into my brain of him in a crisp dress shirt with his monogrammed initials, with his sunglasses around his neck on a rope chain. I will miss you terribly!

Adam, my most respected Boss,mentor, friend
I am at a loss of words when I heard the news about you. I asked how can anyone be cruel enough to hurt the most gentle, kind and generous soul we all know?
Trust me that your existent will never be forgotten in the hearts of those whom has met you in the egaming business. You will always be honored as the father of Live gaming and nobody will be able to take any credit away from your great accomplishments at drho.com and casinowebcam.com
Even though my heart is stung with sorrow each time someone in the industry mentions about your name(it happens all the time), I am so proud that I had the honor to fight side by side with you in the past. Pls trust me that every single person I know here in the online casino industry has remembered to pay you tribute for what your great accomplishments.
I will carry on your ambitions over here and everytime when I encounter adversity I will draw strength from remembering how we both fought in the past to overcome all those obstacles facing us. Except that now, I will have to do it alone with you watching/guiding me from above.

A leading light
My dear friend Adam was a leading light in the online gambling industry. From out of nowhere, he quickly established an easygoing rapport with players, partners, affiliates and colleagues - something I now understand well after reading the many tributes to his short but wonderful life.
Each time I met him we always had way too much to talk about and way too little time in which to do so. We planned on many an occasion to do something together, and that time was almost upon us when he was tragically taken from this world.
I shall always remember Adam has a very sharp, analytical, witty and calculating person - perhaps the most brilliant brain in the industry - I do not know of anyone who had anything less than admiration for his manner and his ability.
I will miss you greatly - but I know that one day we shall meet again and then we shall eagerly renew our friendship.

Adam You Will Be Missed!
Adam grew up just a few doors down from me. We use to always play baseball and soccer with the neighbourhood children in front of our houses. As we both grew up we hung out in different circles, but Adam and I always shared a mutual respect.......He was a phenominal person. Two years ago, Adam and I reconnected through email and although he was very successful and busy, he still found the time to talk to this friend from the past.
Bless You and Your Family!

A special guest in our home
I have memories of Adam that are divided by many years.
The first memories are of a young boy, slight, bookish, fiercely confident. He was a student, and a very serious one. I had known, as most students, that there was this kid...a kid with a briefcase and a stockbroker...and it was no joke. This boy Adam had the stuff from a very young age. Everyone knew he was special but he managed to exceed everyone's expectations anyway.
Fast forward many years, after Yossi and I were married and living down the street from his lovely parents. Adam came home regularly for the High Holidays and he would often visit our home, for a meal or just a schmooze and share with us the most amazing stories of his life. His business, his travels, his ideas.
Remarkably, with all there was to share, he still managed to be so humble and genuine. A trait that he obviously inherited from his parents. A trait that lives on so gracefully in Adam's sister, Becky.
As much passion as he had for the world of business and for all the tastes of the world, he was still the same old Adam, just a that little kid from Winnipeg, fiercely confident, funny, generous and so devoted to his family.
We all have lost a friend.

A beautiful soul
I am Puerto Rican, my heart aches because the life of a beautiful person, of those we need so much like Adam, was so tragically and brutally lost here on this Island.
Life is full of mysteries and this to me is one mre of those. I see those pictures of Adam especially that one iwith his cats and I hardly can hold my teras.
My prayers are with you, Adam is already peacefully and happily contemplating the face of the Lord.

Adam was the one and only casino executive that I grew to trust.
His patience and attention to detail regarding every question I ever asked him in private, belied the fact he was an extroadinarily busy man.

Goodbye My Friend
It was with shock and horror that I learned of Adam's tragic passing. I've known Adam for 2 years, having worked with him on several real estate deals in Puerto Rico. As mentioned throughout these testimonials, he was a savvy entrepreneur with a razor sharp intellect. I learned much from him on the professional front. But what I will remember most, and what I will strive to do in my own life to honor his memory, is that a person can be a driven, sucessful business person AND a caring, generous, empathetic human being. I have never met anyone who balanced these admirable qualities as well as Adam, and I probably never will.
As I told Tito, I really thought Adam and I would be friends, professionally and personally, for many, many years to come. Adam, you will be missed by so many people and never forgotten. Wherever you are, rest knowing that the world is a better place for having had you in it, even if all too briefly.
Goodbye my friend.

Special Partner
Adam and I worked together on several of his real estate transactions in Puerto Rico. We sat on opposite sides of the negotiating table. I was attorney for the seller, and Adam and his partner Kico were the buyers. Through what were at times difficult negotiations, Adam utilized the combination of his intellect and sense of humor to keep all the parties at ease and to keep the transactions moving forward to successful closings. After each deal closed, the joy was written all over Adam’s face, evidenced by his great, big smile. But Adam always took his joy a step further. Typically, a deal closes, everyone shakes hands, and the attorneys go their own way. With Adam things were much different. Adam wanted everyone to share in his joy and accomplishments. After each deal closed, Adam invited me and others from my side of the table to celebrate with his team. Not only did Adam insist that we attend, but many times he would insist on driving us to these celebrations himself. This was just his way. Sharing his accomplishments and joy with others and giving back and being thankful in any way he could.
Adam, I was truly looking forward to working with you again and to furthering the friendship that was developing between us over the years to come. I am deeply saddened that this will not be the case. You looked at the table not as one with two sides, but rather as round with all parties working together, and I only hope we are all able to remember this lesson for many years to come. You will be dearly missed by all the players around the table.

Adam
I was so sorry to hear about Adam. I cannot imagine what you are going through these days but I hope and pray that all these wonderful things people have said about Adam help to ease your pain somewhat. I still remember the day you brought Adam home from the hospital - a tiny bundle all red and wrinkled and howling - who knew that this little guy would make such a mark on the world - that he would be so successful, a world leader and world traveller. I remember also the day Adam was waiting outside for a ride to a birthday party - Heather was already there. The weather had turned colder and I took Heather's coat outside and asked Adam if he would mind taking it to the birthday party for Heather. He straightened up and said "I would be pleased to, Mrs. Kusmack". This came out of the mouth of a 3 or 4 year old. I was so impressed! Such a small thing, but I knew even then that this was no ordinary kid. Heather, Rob and I will always remember Adam and pray that in time his memory will bring you the peace and comfort that you deserve.

A Loss for Us All
Sadly, I've just heard the news of Adam's passing from an old work colleague. Adam and I were work colleagues at NorthStar Capital in the late 1990s and though we haven't been in touch in recent years I was still shocked and saddened by the news of his passing. My clearest memory of Adam was how he always managed to get burned whenever he went skiing. He always took the teasing and ribbing with ease and a smile. Adam, my sincerest condolences to your family. RIP

Adam Was a True Friend
As the wife of Adam's dear friend, Mike, I can say that Adam had a tremendous impact on Mike's life, as well as my own. I can remember many fond memories of time spent with Adam here in Atlanta, as well as in NYC, and we will sorely miss him. There was truly never a distance too far for a friend of Adam's, as we witnessed personally on several occasions. Please know that many people loved Adam, as we did, and that our lives were all enriched by his presence. We will miss him. We wish his family peace as you continue to come to terms with his tragic and untimely passing.

I miss you already
My heart aches with the news that Adam is no longer here. He is no longer a phone call away when I need a friend, no longer a flight away; a friend with a strong intellect and sweet heart to match. No one spoke to me the way Adam did; no one will ever take his place in my heart. My thoughts and prayers extend to the Anhang family. It was my privilege to meet his father and grandfather and to see how much he loved them. I cannot imagine the pain and the loss the family is feeling, but I will remember them when I pray and I will never stop remembering Adam and the love I have for him. There is a new angel in heaven now.

Memories from Mt. Kilimanjaro
I met Adam on a trip climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro in 2002. Although we did not keep in touch much afterwards, his presence made the trip quite memorable and I am truly sorry to hear of his passing.

Adam
How well I remember my first meeting with Adam, it was at the Real Estate Center’s annual meeting and dinner at the Rittenhouse Hotel. Peter had mentioned in conversation with me, what a bright student Adam was. After dinner Adam sought me out to tell me of his family in Canada and how much his experience at Wharton and Peter’s mentoring had meant to him. He was so friendly and charming that he made an immediate impression on me and I was anxious to meet his parents which I later did when they visited Adam in Philadelphia. I left the Philadelphia area in 1998, and so I never saw Adam after that, but he always asked of my welfare in conversations with my sons. His sweet smile and loving manner will remain in my heart.

To Adam, my dearest friend
Adam. For 15 years, you've been my dearest and my closest friend. A phrase that sounds so very trite given the depth of the bond we've always shared. I miss you dearly. But even in the darkest hours of my grief, I must acknowledge that you have not yet passed from this world. For in your brief time among us, you permanently changed each and every one of us. You made us better friends, better partners and better family members. You made us better people. You taught us compassion, wisdom, bravery, loyalty, integrity and love. You taught us that anything worth doing is worth doing exceptionally well. You taught us that we could each achieve greatness in our lives. I will not forget these lessons. I will not forget the life you led. I will not forget the example you set. I know that I could spend the rest of my life trying to match the impact you've made in only 32 years, and still come up very short. But I also know that aspiring to do just that will keep you forever by my side. Together, my dearest friend, we continue on.

A loss beyond words
It was with great shock and horror that I found out about this great tragedy in the Penn Alumni magazine. I cannot believe it is true. I lived across the hall from Adam in the High Rise and considered him one of my closest friends on campus. We often had fire drills in the middle of the night and would have to sit in the "fire proof" staircase. Adam used to drag his comforter out with him and wrap himself up in it right there in the stairwell until they'd let us back in. I know it's odd, but that's exactly how I'll always picture him. He was always a few feet away with a big smile, that great laugh, invaluable advice and unwavering friendship. Thank you, Adam, for remembering my birthday when no one else did. I will remember you forever. I hope that his family can find peace. I am so sorry for this tragic loss.

My dear friend Adam
I don't know how one can express feelings over such a tragic loss. I can only say that I take comfort in knowing that Adam is still with us everyday, patiently watching over us until we are all united again. Adam and I were in the same class at Wharton, though we didn't meet until a number of years later in New York. I have always looked back at the time we spent together with tremendous fondness. Years later, I was back at Wharton getting an MBA. One afternoon I walked into my Real Estate Finance class to find Adam at the front of the room. It was only a minute before class started, so I didn't have a chance to say hello beforehand. The class was packed - roughly 100 people, probably the biggest class I had. Adam was warmly introduced and started his lecture. About five or six minutes into, he suddenly saw me in the audience, stopped mid-sentence and said "oh, hey, Manny." I don't think that re-telling the story does the moment justice, but it was somehow extremely touching for me. It was just so Adam. to interrupt a lecture to greet a friend so sincerely like that. I will remember it forever. Adam was a joy to work with and a beautiful human being. I feel very lucky to have known and worked with him. His mark is indelible and he touched many, many people in so many different ways. With love and shared sorrow.
