Adam \t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tOBITUARY\t\t<\/p>\n<p>William P. Adam, 90, of Reading, PA, passed away peacefully on August 6, 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Born on November 15, 1935, William was the beloved husband of Marie (Marbarger) Adam,<\/p>\n<p>with whom he shared 64 very happy years of marriage. He was a wonderful husband who loved<\/p>\n<p>and cherished his wife and family throughout their life together.<\/p>\n<p>William was the son of the late Paul R. Adam and Ella M. (Bissey) Adam. He was preceded in<\/p>\n<p>death by his sisters, Anna Hoover and Claire Zuchowski. He is survived by his sister, Nancy<\/p>\n<p>Henn, wife of Robert Henn, and is also survived and lovingly remembered by a host of nieces,<\/p>\n<p>nephews, and extended family.<\/p>\n<p>William proudly served for six years in the Air National Guard with the 168th CAM Squadron.<\/p>\n<p>Following his military service, he worked as a mechanic at Tray-Pak, where he remained until<\/p>\n<p>his retirement in 1997. Retirement did not keep William from doing what he loved. He went on<\/p>\n<p>to work a couple of days a week at Luppold Hardware, where he was well-loved by the<\/p>\n<p>customers. William loved talking to people and truly enjoyed his work and the friendships he<\/p>\n<p>made there.<\/p>\n<p>A lifelong car enthusiast, William was a former president of the Bandit Car Club in Laureldale,<\/p>\n<p>PA. He loved his cars and enjoyed all of his \u201ctoys,\u201d including cars, motorcycles, and<\/p>\n<p>snowmobiles. There was very little William could not fix. He was incredibly handy and could<\/p>\n<p>always be counted on to figure out how to make something work.<\/p>\n<p>William also loved camping and traveling with Marie in their travel trailer. Some of their<\/p>\n<p>favorite adventures were trips to Nova Scotia and Key West. Above all, William enjoyed<\/p>\n<p>spending time with people, sharing stories, working with his hands, and making the most of life<\/p>\n<p>with the people he loved.<\/p>\n<p>William will be deeply missed by his wife, family, friends, former co-workers, and the many<\/p>\n<p>people whose lives he touched throughout his 90 years.<\/p>\n<p>Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, at Milkins Trymbiski Funeral<\/p>\n<p>Home, 4914 Kutztown Road, Temple, PA 19560.
