Adrian L. "Ade" Ketchum

I was so sorry to hear about my old friend Ade. He was always ready to go racing with me thru the years, part of my pit crew. Rest in peace old friend. Todd Luckner

It was always a pleasure to talk to Ade whether it was about which car or driver was the best or how Corning was in the past when we were younger.

Ade, happy trails my ole friend. So many races, so little time.

I worked with Ade at I-R/D-R. He was an expert photographer. He was also key to implementation of the of many of the new systems we still use today for handling drawings at D-R. Aside from that I always remember Ade as helpful and friendly. His response was "we can do that Bill". He will be missed by myself and many others and remembered as a good friend. -Bill Wirz

What a great friend & photographer. I worked with Ade at Ingersoll-Rand & Dresser-Rand Co. in Painted Post, NY. We photographed a World Class motorcycle trial in PA together and shared the photos. I attended many of his presentation of photos over the years. He had such a visual history of racing! I even visited him in the Corning Hospital the day he had a collapsed lung, comming back from lunch. I have thought about him many times since he and now I have left work. We were out of...

So sorry to hear of Ade's passing. We worked side by side many times at WGI during the racing season. Ade was a great contributor to The Leader's visual coverage of the LPGA Corning Classic for many years. Ade was a good friend and a great human being. My sincere condolences to the family.
