To the Adler family:
As a life long friend of Steve, I have knowd Mr. Adler for more than 37 years. At all times, he extended hospitality to his home and also great patience to Steve and I for some of our antics that will remain unsaid. I knew him as a good and fair man and the world has been a better place for his presence. May God’s light, grace and love shine upon the family.
