In our memory of Adam, we could also recall fondly how he described our
community in a report he wrote on AsiaLex 2014.

This Jack Halpern, head of the CJKI Dictionary Institute that specializes
in CJK and Arabic dictionary databases. Chu-Ren, thank you for sharing
the above report with us.
I have known Adam for about 15 years, and during that period had
the privilege in working with him as a colleague and spending time
together as friends at various lexicographic conference in China,
Singapore and others. I never failed to be amazed by the depth
and breadth of Adam's expertise regarding practical lexicography
and the amazing tools he has built.
I had the honor to work with him on some projects, and he provided
our institute us with a highly useful Chinese database. In our many
email exchanges, he always treated all technical issues in an
in-depth and serious matter and gave full answers to all questions.
I was truly shocked by his passing. It is a great loss for lexicography
in general and such a sad event for his many friends and colleagues.
We, the international community of lexicographers, will have to go
on without Adam. May he rest in peace.
