    Those of us that know one or more of his children (or grandchildren) can testify – He’s left a legacy of Christ-revealing fruitfulness that remains, and will continue beyond this world unto eternity. What an honor to have met him.

    Our sincerest sympathy to the Fornof family. Adam will always be remembered for the wonderful loving, faithful, man of integrity that he was. He has left a family of amazing children to carry on his name and legacy. It’s an honor to have been able to call him friend and brother in Christ.

    Here, in these brief expressions of sympathy a word is oft repeated–legacy. Mr. Fornof passes on a legacy of devotion to God, his beloved family and a life of selfless hard work. Please know how much we love you all. (Terry) Helena Becky Lauren and Kylie Grace.

    I worked with Adam for just a short while and during that time we became comrades. Adam was a gentle and kind soul. He will be missed.

    Having known Adam (and Esther) first as the parents of our friends then as friends in their own right, we can say he will be missed. He was a man who loved his Lord, his wife and his children and their families. He had a great sense of humor and loved to laugh and was a joy to be around. He’ll be missed. Our hearts are happy for him that he’s reunited with Esther and united with Jesus. Our hearts are sad for the loss you all feel. God bless and comfort each of you.
