Martin Ernest Adler

I had the privilege of working with Marty at the hospital. I will always remember his smile, his infectious laugh and how kind he was to his patients and staff. Miss you dear friend. Angelica Hotti

I was so sorry to learn of Martin´s passing. He was such a lovely person. I went to school with him both in Oakhurst and Asbury Park. I took art lessons from his mom and went to his house weekly for a few years. I left NJ right after college and lost touch with everyone but I have nice memories" frozen in time" of that wonderful Oakhurst Elementary school bunch. Sending my deepest condolences to the family. Fondly Alice Kaufman Kurtz.

Martin, "organizing" his office, one of the Seven Dwarfs in a skit for Nurses Day, always in a good mood, easy to work with in a partnership of seven doctors (a miracle), the world misses him.

Marty was such a wonderful friend and colleague, phenomenal physician who always took the greatest care of his patients. He will always be remembered and missed. Our hearts go out to his amazing wife and beautiful sons and their families. We love and miss you all. Grace, Steve, Juno and Danielle

I worked in the nursing department at San Mateo County General Hospital where I met Marty Adler in 1976. Marty was a consummate caregiver. He was kind, patient and empathetic. Marty had a great sense of humor and an infectious laugh. I will always remember his smile. Marty was a co-worker and a friend. He was taken from us too soon. He will be missed.

As an example of Martys thoughtfulness- after my parents passed, he sent me their 1952 Wedding Reception card (Temple Emeth, in South Brookline Mass,) with menu included- what are Hawailian Potatoes? The 130 guests with table designations. Young Marty, his brother Stephen, and cousin Alex were at table # 13. Obviously a fortunate number.

Marty and my dad loved to bike ride together. I went along on some of their "Parky" rides, and always enjoyed their delight in being able to move so freely, despite the complications of their Parkinson's. We often stopped for coffee or snacks along the way and seeing their friendship meant so much to me. I'm grateful for knowing him, and even more grateful for the years of friendship and solidarity he provided my father, Steve Hartwell. I miss them both.

What a lovely tribute to a devoted spouse and father. I enjoyed being your Real Estate agent in San Diego and getting to know you and your interests.

I am Marty´s youngest brother. Marty was a very compassionate and extremely honest brother. Very respectful to everyone and a good listener. I never remember Marty ever getting in trouble anywhere. Always obedient and rarely argued. Always completed every task on schedule. Marty set a perfect example for his children and others to follow. You will be missed.
