Adam has been a permanent fixture at Park Way for his lifetime, which was tragically cut short last Friday, 2 May.  There was never an occasion during match days or club nights, that everyone looked out for him to either discuss Comber’s performance or enjoy some banter regarding Liverpool’s latest slipup.

He thoroughly enjoyed this and, with his WKD sense of humour, was never stuck for an answer, especially if the recipient was a United supporter.

The club often relied on Adam for his computer skills when required.  These requests for help were always accepted.

The theme tune to an old American sit-com ‘Cheers’ refers to an individual entering an establishment “where everyone knows your name”.  There was no one at the ‘Rec who didn’t know Adam and vise-versa.  Many visiting team members and officials also looked out for him, especially when it was Killyleagh.

Our club shall miss him greatly but we can only imagine how his parents Valerie and Michael along with his brother Nicky, are feeling at this time. We have been extremely fortunate to have had Adam as a supporter and friend.

Comber Rec would wish to express our thanks to the clubs involved with our teams last Saturday who marked Adams passing before each of the games.  We wish to express our appreciation to Newington FC, Nortel FC and Brentwood FC as well as the players, officials and supporters of the Northern Ireland and Belgium Schoolboy teams who played at Park Way last Saturday morning.
