Adon and Eugenia enjoyed many activities over the years including
golf, bridge, boating, tennis and travel.
Adon was always dedicated to the communities in which he lived and was
involved in many civic activities being a long time member of both
Kiwanis and the Masons. He served on the Wayne State College Foundation
and planning committee for the Providence Medical Center in Wayne, Nebraska.
While in Martin County he served on a zoning review committee for
Hutchinson Island. He volunteered for Lighthouse for the Blind, The
Visiting Nurse Association, and the Martin County Stroke Club.
Over the years he shared in many church activities and leadership
roles; these were always a source of much joy. He served as elder of the
First Presbyterian Church of Wayne, Nebraska; First Presbyterian Church

member of this church and faithfully attended Bible study classes and the
Men's Prayer Group. He served as volunteer treasurer for several years,
enjoyed singing in the Chancel Choir, and was the Chair of the first Long
Range Planning committee for the congregation.
Adon, although quiet and modest, was an inspiration to those that
knew him. He was dedicated to his family and gave them the gift of
strong Christian values. His thoughtful wit and wise observation were
always appreciated and will be missed.
He leaves to the loving care of God, his beloved wife of 63 years,
Eugenia; [partial sentence omitted]. But he also leaves his many colleagues and friends from
the Bible classes and prayer group. He will be long remembered by all,
but remembered best for his love of home and foreign missions. Service
at the Palm City Presbyterian Church June 19, 1998."
