Mr. Adler can be credited with teaching me how to run a prosperous business. I worked for him for a few years and I learned more about business with him in those short years than I probably ever will. He was a good man. Rest in peace.

Dear Barbara and sons and family, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your husband/father. Carl was a great man. I had the privilege of working for him at Adlers Photo for a number of years. He was a very fair, hardworking and honest man, and a wonderful family man. I will miss him, as I know you will too. May God continue to bless you and all of your family, and God bless Carl. I am so sorry I hadn't heard about it sooner.

Mr. Adler was a true gentlemen. Without question, he was the most polite and respectful person I had the privilege to help when I used to work at my dad's shop. I cannot recall a time when he did not have a smile on his face. I was sorry to hear the news of his passing.

Dear Adler Family, Thanks to my dad, who was friends with him because he owned a printshop and advertising agency,I met Mr. Adler when I was about seven years old. It was them who inspired me how important it was to capture memories on film. Mr. Adler was a great teacher who never shyed away from answering questions to inspire young people to love photography and never pushed a sale which was very compassionate and loving. That was a rare quality. I am honorored to have met him, and learned a wealth of information from his love and experience. May your family find comfort in knowing we will see him again when our Lord returns. God bless you and your family during this celebration of his life, amen. Love and prayer, Sincerley, Norman Clegg II

Dear Adler Family,
My heart is so saddened to hear that you have lost someone so dear to all of you. I have so many fun memories from the restaurant sitting with Carl & his friend just talking & laughing about whatever subject happened to surface on any given day. He will always have a special place in my heart, as he was very caring at a time in my life when I was struggling to make sense of things. Please know I will keep each & everyone of you in my prayers, hoping great memories will help to ease some of your grief. Sincerely,Donna from Kitchen 44
