Vale Addam Stobbs
Allegro non Troppo
Addam, we crossed each other’s path on many occasions and we often had a good laugh. Time flies so quickly since the days we first met at Society Five. Rest in peace in the full knowledge that you did more than your bit for the gay and lesbian movement. To Yoda and Addam’s birth family, my sympathies on the loss of Addam.
