for Kenneth Adler

Not sure what to say?





I remember Mr.Adler so fondly. He would always repair my Thumbelina doll with grace and kindness. 50+ years later I still remember this and I smile each time I think about it.
Thank you Mr. Adler, thank you from a little girl who never forgot you.

Dear Nancy and Darrell,
Your father, my uncle, is a daily part of my life and I don't feel as if I've lost Uncle Ken; he's always with me, really. He's just on a different journey now. He taught me how to hug and how good it felt and that hug he gave me for the first time is the cornerstone of my values. I always hug my son, period.

To all of the family,
I just learned of Uncle Ken's death and our thouthts are with all of you. Nancy, you know what a big part your dad and mom played in the Anderson faimly as we all grew up together. No times bring back bigger memories then the times with you and your parents and the great times on the boat. I miss my Christmas phone calls to be able to talk with your folks and to remember good times together.
I send our love and prayers as you adjust to this new phase in life. Everyone loved them both so much and they were the best. Thanks for the memories Uncle Ken!! We will miss you!! Love you all

I grew up on Lee Road, one block over from Brambach Avenue in Scarsdale. There was an older woman on Brambach whose first name escapes me, but we used to call her "Grandma Adler". She was like the neighborhood grandmother to all of the children. Was this Kenny's mother? Condolences to the entire family, he had a full and prosperous life and is now resting in the arms of Jesus for eternity.

Dear Nancy and Darrell and Adler family,
We are saddened to hear of the death of your Dad. We have such fond memories of him during our summers in Montauk and Scarsdale.He was always so kind and patient with us as small children. I remember I was thrilled when he allowed me to take Tippi for a walk around the yard. He always took time to show us his garden and teach us about birds. We feel privileged to have been a part of his life. Uncle Ken will live in our memory always....
Love, Michele and Todd Brogan(Paulmann)

Hi Nancy & Darrell,
Please accept my heart felt condolences on the passing of 'Uncle Ken'. I have many fond memories of him and the many joys he got from the simplest aspects of life...like the riding of everyone (including my mother) on the scooter from his boat at Maplewood farm.
He is in a better place now with his lovely Doris, your mom and brother Randy at his side. He left all us with nothing but good memories of a kind, gentle and caring man. Our earth world will be a little sad without him but we/you will be OK because of the wonderful deeds and experiences he rendered us during his long and caring life.
Be well and God Bless each of you in these sorrowful times.
Fondly
