When I remember first meeting Uncle Ade his family joined ours at a cottage on a lake in the UP and he got our old outboard motor running. I'll always remember Uncle Ade for his quiet caring and willingness to help. He could always fix things and offer his wisdom and encouragement. 💜

Volunteered at Calvins Carlot with Ade for several years. We enjoyed his friendship and stories, especially his Packard days. We missed him when he had to stop joining us. Loved his smiles.
