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.

We Knew we Were "True Companions" and What an Amazing Journey followed eh Rich? I MISS YOU with ALL My Heart, Thank You Love for Being an Amazing husband!
I think Rich would think that while you keep focused on the closed door of his life you may not notice the ones that open.
Rest in Peace Rich.
My condolences to you and your family on the passing of Rich. We spoke two weeks before he passed and as always he exuded such a positive spirit about everything. Always welcomed me when I was around and will miss him... He will be with you by your side forever now. Be well.
How about asking Richard to tell Diane to do some lights and alarms for us too! Love ya girl and think of you lots!
I was taken back by Richards passing and deeply saddened. Richard was a good friend and a pleasure to work with. I do regret drifting apart many years ago but I have great memories of hanging out, Gigs we played and places we toured. So many laughs. Working with him was such a pleasure he lifted every band and made me a better player.
I am so sorry for your loss. God Bless
two brilliant, shining souls in this world of ours!
I have taken this long to write because I still can't get my head around it. Only the good die young. Probably the most decent human being Olga and I have ever met. Hopefully he is walkin and runnin and dancin in a better place !
Love, Olga and Gene

"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.
