REMEMBERING AND MOURNING JOHN ADLER
(Mr. RUNYAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Mr. RUNYAN. Mr. Speaker, 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.
