I was born in Flagstaff and came to Phoenix in 1949. We ended up in the Marcos and went to St. Anthony's Church. I was in a church group (The Crusaders), and he came to a luncheon as guest speaker. I saw him many times over the years and he was always encouraging to me. And he never forgot the kid from the Marcos. At his 100th birthday celebration at Post 41 I said hello and he said "Tony Beltran." I'll never forget him. Mr. Diaz was an inspiration to many of us in the Hispanic Community.

MrDiaz was always around taking care of the building smiling and very freindly. I came to know his son Joe very well also in the 70s. A great guy who talked about his Dad often.

His positive influence was felt beyond the Phoenix area, extending to our smaller communities like my hometown of Miami where I heard of Adam's leadership and good works. He leaves a rich legacy beyond narrow partisan boundaries, a legacy worthy of being emulated by all of us.. Descanse en paz.
