Bert Newton Adams

Another opportunity to thank you for all you did for me and my family

I was a student in his marriage and family class at UW Madison. He was a memorable professor. I quote him often in my work. He finished the semester with a wonderful song. I was thinking of him and found this recent obituary. My condolences to his wife and family.

I worked for Bert while in grad school. He was a fabulous teacher and a fierce competitor on both the squash court and softball diamond! But he was an even better friend.

first met Bert in '93, singing at the MO. Really enjoyed his stories of Africa. Also, especially fun doing Mikado in '08. Thank you, sir. Godspeed

A wonderful voice. A wonderful soul.

I'm sorry Bert has died. Here is a poem to commemorate him. Remember me when I sang my favorite songs and laughed with you To be alive is to love what is mortal and to remember

The most incredible Bert Adams served as a mentor, colleague, and choral partner for me between 1981-2015. We sang together at the First Baptist Church of Madison in the choir, and did duets and small group singing with others there. I often say that I owe receiving my doctorate from the University of Wisconsin-Madison to Bert´s support, wise counsel and participation in both my preliminary exams and dissertation committees. He was beloved by so many of us who were not even students in his...

Dr. Adams was so kind and encouraging to me as a new assistant professor at UW-Madison in 1983. He continued to be a mentor at NCFR meetings. His strength, wisdom, and kindness will on through all the lives he has touched. Margaret Crosbie-Burnett, Ph.D.

Surely one of my favorites colleagues. So smart. So loving. So full of fun!
