Publish in a newspaper

Adam F. Ferraioli, Jr., age65, of Conshohocken, PA, passed away on January 25, 2024 after a battle with cancer. He was the beloved husband of 8 years to Heather C. (Morell) Ferraioli. He was born in Norristown, PA on June 26, 1958 to the late Adam F. and Mary J. (Bacchi) Ferraioli. Adam attended Plymouth Whitemarsh High School, and then went on to California with some friends to pursue his dream of becoming a rock star. He was notably known as the drummer for Get The Led Out, the band that celebrates the mighty Led Zepplin. A gifted musician and drummer, Adam played in many bands in his early years including Thrust, Tangere, Brittany Fox, Three Ring Circus, Rhythm and Blue Fish, just to name a few. He met a lot of people and had many interesting experiences along the way, but in the end his family needed him, and he returned home. He has always been available and reliable for his family. Adam was a good man, and even better husband and father. When he wasn't on the drums, Adam enjoyed quality time with his family. He enjoyed cooking and baking, especially making pasta and key lime pie together (he always made the best crust). He also loved taking trips to theme parks, the NJ shore, Hershey Park and Disney World.
In addition to his wife Heather, he is survived by four children Adam J. Ferraioli, Rachel A. Ferraioli, James A. Ferraioli, and Luca F. Ferraioli, his brother Jospeh N. Ferraioli, and many cousins, extended family members, and countless friends. He was preceded in death by his brother James A. Ferraioli and his sister Rosanne Ferraioli.
Relatives and friends are invited to a Visitation from 9-11 a.m. followed by a Memorial Service at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, February 1, 2024 at the Emil J. Ciavarelli Family Funeral Homes and Crematory, 516 Fayette St., Conshohocken, PA. Interment will be private.

I am so glad I got to meet and talk with Adam. Just a serious fan who appreciated his talents. Was so saddened to attend recent GTLO concert only to see that Adam had departed this life. RIP my fellow drummer! You are missed.

I knew Adam very well in his earlier yrs, and wanted to share, what others may not know. Adam was a very important part of my life for many years. I met Adam through our mutual friend, right before his first band, Thrust, took off and played in the PA and Nj circuit of rock clubs, from Galaxy, Heaven, Cherries and Central Park. Adam had just recovered from paralysis from a motor cycle accident. He also worked at his father´s gas station, making sure his friends had gas for their cars, during the 1980s gas crisis from the Iraq/ Afghanistan war. He also opened an icecream shop. Adam went to LA, where he played in some original bands. I visited him there and still have a copy of his band´s origina cd. When Adam returned to the area he played with GTLO, until his death, last week. Adam also survived through the early deaths of a brother, sister and his mother in a short time span, and recently his father. Adam rose to fame during his years with GTLO, and was the greatest drummer many of us had ever heard.

Prayers to his wife Heather and 4 kids
Rest in Peace Adam, you have earned it

I got to know Adam over the past 5 years. I will miss the chats and camaraderie that we shared. Adam was always willing to chat about music and willing to listen. When he was going thru his shoulder issues, I was able to share my own experience and what to expect. I looked forward to his return to performing which he had hoped would be in time for Red Rocks, but his recovery was not quite ready. We talked about getting together sometime after his recovery, sadly, that never happened either. I will miss you my friend.
Heather, much love to you and your family as you attempt to recover from his loss. If I am ever able to help, please reach out.
Much Love

Adam was a great guy. I knew Adam from his early music days at the Galaxy Rock Club. He was always friendly and I was lucky enough to take many photos of Adam and his bands Tangier and Britny Fox. Last time I saw him was at a Bonnies/ Galaxy reunion where we had a talk about those early days again.

Our hearts have broken over the news of Adam. We have been to 8 shows at Red Rocks to soak up Led Zeppelin and immerse ourselves in the immense talents of GTLO´s musicianships, just incredible! Whenever Adam was not present on the drums, we were in fact, heartbroken, missing his beautiful, vibrant, peaceful personality and unique talent, sitting behind the drums he loved, in the Rocks natural setting (millions of years old). Today, we went to Red Rocks to send up a prayer to him and laid flowers in spirit on the stage he graced thru the years, sending up our love and thanks. There is only one Adam, and we will shed tears again at Red Rocks for the family, members of band and for all of us. We met years back, the band members, all signed our shirts, incredibly loving individuals! Thank you all for your graciousness! Thank you for your dedication, playing just incredible music. Thank you, Adam, Incredibly inspirational, and Kind. We Love You All. We pray, God´s blessings and grace, to watch over Adam´s family. His spirit, will always be with you. And to guide you! His spirit smiles in appreciation for his friendships and devoted fans. Take care. God speed, and Thank you. John and Vicky Buffington, Lakewood, Colorado.
