My deepest sympathy to you and your family. We were always in the same home room at AHS.
Shelbie, please know that Buneva and I are praying for your family. The few times I met Adrian, it was easy to recognize what a great guy he was. Psalm 116:15
We are saddened to hear of Adrian's passing. He was always an exemplary employee here at the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism, and was well liked among his peers. I will always remember him fondly for his big smile and gentle humor. He was a fine gentleman. May he rest in peace.
What a sweet soul Mr. Huff was. We are thinking and praying for you all during this difficult time.â¤ï¸
