Adam Schaffer Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Adam was born on July 14, 1966 in Brooklyn, New York to Frank and Evelyn Schaffer. He graduated from Southshore High School in Canarsie in 1985, and went on to pursue a career in information technology.
On July 2, 1995 he married Nancy [Levine] Schaffer. Together they raised a son and daughter, David and Rose, in Monroe Township, New Jersey.
Most recently he worked as a Systems Administrator at SHI International Corp.
Adam was a lover of a lot of things, music, movies, TV, his family, and his most recent hobby - 3D printing. If he was around today, he would probably say "I could have printed my own headstone." He was known for his frequent jokes and stories like, "Have you heard the latest? It hasn't come out yet."
Adam was a beloved husband, father, son, brother, nephew, cousin, and friend.
Adam was preceded in death by his father, Frank.
He is survived by his wife, Nancy; his children, David and Rose; his mother, Evelyn; his brother and sister-in-law, Scott and Beata; his niece, Sarah; his nephew, Max, and several aunts, uncles, and cousins.
A graveside service will be held on Sunday, June 27th, 2021 at New Montefiore Cemetery in West Babylon, New York at 1:00 pm, under the direction of MOUNT SINAI MEMORIAL CHAPELS, East Brunswick. For directions, please see our "Services" page.
The immediate family will be sitting shiva immediately after the funeral and Monday through Wednesday [6/28-6/30], 2:00 pm - on. Friends and family are invited to pay their respects at those times. Please contact Nancy at (954) 801-3600 for the address.

I am so sorry to hear that Adam has passed away. We were in elementary school together. He was funny and very sweet. I will always remember him with huge hair and a warm smile.
