I am very sorry for your loss. I knew Addy when he was in the band with my father. Although I was very young, there still was allot of good memories of way back when. It is very sad to hear this news, All of our thoughts and prayers go out to your family.

I worked with Addy back around '74 or '75 at Havelock Shops when I was a carman apprentice.
I hadn't seen him since I quit the BN in '75, but he was always a great friend to me out there at work.
He had a great sense of humor and was fun to be around. When you still remember a coworker after 30+ years, that means that they were someone special.
I remember him sharing a song with me by a group named Red Ball about "Johnny P_ssoff." I can still remember laughing at that song.
Some folks just make a great impression on you.
My sincere condolences.

I am thinking of you all daily. It is hard to believe that I am writing this. Uncle Addy was a role model, a father, an uncle, and my god father. I loved him dearly. His gentle smile will for ever be engraved in my mind. I wish I could be there with you today. I love you all.

Glantz Family,
Sorry to hear of Addys passing.
Our son Scott played with Brent on the Stacys Salvation Little Fry basketball team. Then against him,while in high school,in baseball. Whenever our paths crossed Addy would come over to say hi and always with a smile on his face. He was just a great guy to talk with.
May God bless you in this time of sorrow.

I was so glad I got to see Addy Sunday. He just had a way about him that was hard not to like about him. He always had good things to say about people, and his own opinoins also. I'll miss him, but just be sure to know that God will take care of him now and that we have so many great memories to keep him in our thoughts. God bless your family, You all are in our prayers.

Well I remember "Addy" from visiting my grandmother on "J" street. He was a friend of my Uncles who lived next door to them. I remember playing "tether ball", catch in the street across from the tracks and going to Lincoln High basketball games with them. He was a neat friend for a young kid. His family is in my prayers.
