Adam had 16 grandchildren, 24 great grandchildren and two great, great- grandchildren.
Adam, with his wife, owned and operated several businesses in Walsenburg, the Central Tavern prior to Corine’s Restaurant, Triple “S” Construction, Triple “S” Car Wash, and he occasionally made hauls in his Mack Dump Truck.
When Adam was younger he liked to dance and take his motorcycle for a cruise. Most importantly, he loved spending time with his sons working on the trucks or new construction projects.
After a hard days work he’d gather with his buddies on occasion for a cold one.
Everyone would call him “Jack” because he was a Jack of all trades, there wasn’t a thing he couldn’t fix or do.
