I was saddened to hear of Adolph's passing. I worked with him for a time several years ago but still fondly reflect on our Boeing days together.

My sincere sympathy to Mary and Josh. I worked with Adolph at Boeing a few years ago. Since we both were retired, and lived on the west side, I would occassionaly see him out and about, and we would visit. I think of him as a caring, kind person. My prayers will be with you both.

I sure will miss seeing Adolph out with Duncan in the yard or walking by our house. He always had a smile and a wave and a kind word to say. I will cherish those times.

As another of Adolph's elementary school classmates, I remember walking home from school many times with him since I lived just two blocks further west on Douglas Ave.
I remember him being a high quality person as a pre-teen. It is refreshing to hear that he only got better as an adult. He came from good stock. He seems to have amplified that goodness with his life.
Mary Kay, my wife and I will remember you and your family in our prayers.

Mary Kay, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I know there are on words to comfort you now -- just know you & your family are in my prayers. I'm having a Mass said for Adolph here in Cross City. May God wrap His loving arms around you to comfort you as he greets Adolph in heaven.

Dolph was my boss in the mid 1970s. I loved his work ethic and his sense of humor.

We lived down the street from the Geier's in Wichita on Douglas Avenue. I was a high school classmate of Mary Kay. Also, later in life Adolph's sister, Kathy Mies, helped me through a difficult time in Topeka. My sympathy to the family. Prayers are coming your way.
