BARTON ADLER Obituary

ADLER, Barton M. Of Natick and Brookline, Massachusetts, age 82, passed peacefully on March 13, 2025, after a brave battle with pancreatic cancer.  A proud graduate of Brookline High School and the University of Arizona, Bart spent his working life in loss prevention and found his joy and fulfillment in his family.  He leaves behind his wife of nearly forty-two years, Susan, and their children, Jeff and Liz Ganz, Daniel Ganz and Ellen Go, Matthew and Kibibi Ganz, Joanna Siegal, and their many grandchildren.  He also leaves behind his big brother, Richard Adler and the many Adler nieces and nephews; he was predeceased by his oldest brother Bucky (Benjamin). Over their fifty years together, Bart and Susan were the center of the warm and loving environment they created for their growing family.  His family surrounded Bart until the very end.  We are all better for knowing him, and the beaches of West Dennis will forever be filled with happy memories of him. Funeral services will be held at Temple Israel,145 Hartford St. Natick, Massachusetts, at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, March 17, 2025. To view the live stream, go to Brezniakfd.com.

Barton was my dad's best lifelong friend. He was there for him through everything, including his parents' deaths. He was there for my family and me through my dad's, crossing state borders during covid shutdown to bear witness to my father's burial for us because we couldn't be there. He was a mensch unlike I have ever known. He and Susan were always laughing. He was the proudest husband and familyman. Barton was the best, and I am truly so sad about his passing. May we all remember and treasure his beautiful, kind spirit, and may his memory be a blessing. I know he was to my family and me.
