Adler developed a fondness for music at a young age; which carried him from playing with his family and friends on the stage of the court square to the Bicentennial celebration and command performance by Queen Elizabeth of England, in Washington D.C.
Adler enjoyed playing basketball and baseball, which carried him into his lifelong devotion for the Arkansas Razorbacks and the St. Louis Cardinals.
He drew great pleasure from hunting and fishing with his son Brady and many family and friends.
After graduating Pleasant Grove High School, sweethearts Adler and Joy married on May 15, 1953. Upon enlistment in the Army they were stationed in Anchorage, Alaska where they welcomed their son, Gordon Brady; followed by four daughters, Robin Renee Rutledge (Tommy), Jean Marie Lawrence (Cecil), Sara Joy Bradshaw, and Julie Anna Ivy (Anthony).

His warm and caring spirit will be greatly missed by his entire family and a host of friends.

I am so sorry to hear of Adlers passing. Please know that you're all in my thoughts and prayers. I always thought so much of Joy and Adler. Bob did as well. I know Adler and Joy and other family and friends are rejoicing with the Lord in Heaven, right now. I bet Bob has a deer story or two to share with Adler.
Dear Father, watch over this grieving family and friends. Wrap your Loving and Comforting arms around them and Comfort them during this time. In your dear sons name we pray. Amen.

Our condolences for Uncle Adler. It has been many years since I last saw him, but the memories were happy memories.
I remember going fishing one time and before we did, Brady and I trolled nets in the water to catch craw dad’s for bait. May God bless him. Rest in peace.
