Adolph was family, and we Bellangers loved him dearly. Whether playing Sat night penny ante poker with him back during my college years, watching him proudly walk his two daughters down the aisle, being the recipient of many of his thorough eye exams, visiting with him at many family socials, or watching him play with and enjoy his grandchildren, I always loved being around this man. He was incredibly honest, kind, humorous, upbeat, helpful, and loving.
I treasure the many times our families were together, and I will miss him greatly. My heart goes out to Gladys, Gina, Tessie, and all of your family. Thank you for sharing him with the Bellangers.
