David Walter Adelman, 71, passed away Sunday, December 2nd , 2018. David was a whimsical dreamer, loved by all and will be dearly missed. His childlike demeanor and light-hearted humor live on in the hearts and words of all who knew him. David never met a stranger and would go out of his way to talk to anyone. No matter who. David was his sweetest and best around children. He lit up and could light up their faces with his voice and the silly conversations he would have with them. David will be missed by the many who were given the opportunity to be a part of his life. David is proceeded in death by daughter Alena Beth; brother Roddy Joe and parents Marcus Adelman and Joan Gerber. David is survived by daughter Anna (Rachel); Marcia and siblings Rick, Marilyn, Doris, Mark/Sonny (Ella), Theresa and several nieces and nephews.
