Below is the obituary:
Beloved father, husband, son, brother, uncle, son-in-law, brother-in-law and dear friend and mentor to many – Adam Charles Eidelberg passed away on September 16, 2021 at his home in New York City surrounded by his beloved wife Hillary Jassey, and children Bennett, age 9 and Hazel, age 6.
Adam was born on May 18, 1963 in New York City to the late Albert Eidelberg and Linda Eidelberg. Adam hailed proudly from New Jersey where he was raised in Englewood Cliffs with his younger sister April Eidelberg. Adam is survived by Linda and April, each of New York City, and his niece Lilly.
Adam graduated from Riverdale Country School in The Bronx, New York in 1982. Adam attended Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts from 1982 to 1986 where he graduated with a B.F.A. degree in Photography and a minor in Education.
In 1985, Adam joined the International Center for Photography (ICP) where he worked for over 22 years. Adam was a photographer to his core – a wonderful imagemaker as comfortable with the aesthetics of the medium as he was with the process and craft of photography. He played a central role in every facility renovation at ICP. Adam eventually used these skills to start his own general contracting business in 2006 known as A. Eidelberg General Contractors. His business was successful, his work was appreciated by clients throughout the metropolitan area who appreciated Adam’s fine craftsmanship, delivered on time without attitude, angst or drama.
In the fall of 2019, Adam was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Adam and his family are specially thankful to the loving care he received from his primary nurses Carlene, Kehinde and Norda.
Adam fought the disease with his usual strength, never-ending humor and determination as long as he could continue to spend time with his beloved children, Bennett and Hazel, and his beloved wife, Hillary.
Adam had a captain’s license and was an avid boater. He owned antique cars and boats and was a wonderful craftsman. Adam had an incredible eye for detail and could fix just about anything!
May the mourners be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.
Rabbi Joshua Hammerman
