Adam Greenberg

Adam Greenberg was a great person whose life was too short. I only met him a few times, but he was very memorable. He had a great sense of humor, very witty. He could deliver these sharp one liners that would make the room erupt in laughter. Though I didn't know him that well or for that long, he touched my life. One of the most immediate ways he changed my life is through his speech at Ben and Jaclyn's wedding. He was the best man and his speech was very funny and heart-felt. Adam's speech was in July, and when it became time for me to give the best man speech at my brother Ben's wedding in October, I looked back on Adam's speech and in many ways tried to emulate his style. My speech would have been very different, and much worse, if it hadn't been for Adam.

Not knowing Adam very well, it was hard to realize how much he went through as far as his health is concerned. He never complained and embraced every hurdle he face. He had lymphoma, and though he was cancer-free for several years, he had many other health complications due to his treatment. His death was sudden and unexpected. Jodie and I were expecting to pick him up yesterday to bring him to Ben and Jaclyn's New Years party. I will miss him.
