On the recordApril 4, 2011
I rise this evening to express my sincere condolences to the family and friends of former Congressman John Adler. My deepest sympathies go out to those that knew him best and loved him most, his wife, Shelley, and their four sons--Jeffrey, Alex, Andrew, and Oliver. Congressman Adler was a committed and compassionate public servant who fought tirelessly for the causes in which he believed. His legacy of public service includes elected office as a council member in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, his tenure in the New Jersey State Senate, and representing New Jersey's Third Congressional District here in the United States House of Representatives. Mr. Speaker, words often fail to accurately reflect the true measure of one's life, but I hope that Shelley, their sons, and extended family and friends may take comfort in John's many accomplishments and knowing that his lifetime of public service has left a lasting legacy for which they can be most proud. ____________________
