This memorial website was created in loving memory of Richard Adelman. He will be dearly missed and forever held in our hearts.
A memorial service was held at Granite Links Golf Club in Quincy, MA on April 17 at 3:30 p.m. We are very grateful to all who attended and shared in the celebration of Rich's life. It was a wonderful, music-filled memorial to a man we all loved and miss greatly.
The family has requested that any donations in Rich's honor be directed to The Rhythmic Arts Project (www.traponline.org), an educational organization focused on empowering and enriching the lives of disabled individuals through percussion-based music.
Please leave a note, add a picture, video, or a song. Our family is comforted by your warmth and stories of Rich.

His life lives on through the love he planted in his beautiful wife Janice, and on through many other family and friends. I'd love to have him to talk to now, but I'm looking forward to our reunion later.
I love you, Richard! I know you knew it, but just in case I didn't say it...

"Way Back Then"
I have been thinking of you all day, although we had lost touch thru the years I have thought of you and Janice many times. Remembering all the happier times we shared way back then. I can still see, in my minds eye, your beautiful smile. In my thoughts today, I was trying to decide which story to talk about. Maybe all those Sundays we rode down to Nantasket Beach to the Surf for the Battle of the Bands. Or the times "The Spinners" backed up the star performers at the Surf. Then again, I could mention the great long weekend ride down to Chapel Hill, NC, what a great weekend that was. We brought your drums to you in October of your freshman year at UNC. My Mom and Dad drove the station wagon with the drums and some of us kids. Brian drove the other car with the rest of the kids. What a special time for us all.
We will meet again someday, till then.
