Gregory Adamski Obituary

A great man. A noble soul.

Rest In Peace. I worked for Greg briefly, he was so happy when I taught him some Word moves on the computer. His eyes showed when he really liked you. When another lawyer told him to correct me one time, you could see he didn´t feel like doing it because he knew it was petty. Rest In Peace sir and condolences to your son.

So sorry to hear about Greg, we went to school together at St Adrian and St Ignatius, i talked to him a few times in the last 10 years.

Ms. Conti. I was at Catholic University Law School with Greg. During my final year there several of us went to a Bar Association meeting in Chicago. Greg was, I believe, clerking for Judge Austin and we met with him at the Judge's chambers. Greg couldn't have been more generous with his time or his smile. He talked to us about the law and our places in the law and in the world and how he was convinced that "balance" between "life" and "law" was possible and necessary. I have never forgotten that day. I am sorry for your loss and for the loss of everyone who met Greg even once.

Karen,
I was shocked with disbelief in hearing of Greg’s untimely passing. Since I first met Greg some 20 years ago, there was an immediate connection with this giant of a man. While the early years were rooted in a professional relationship, it was our annual telephone calls in the later years that reflected the depth of our friendship. I will miss him. His wit of trivia and intelligence of the facts, when combined with his delivery, made him an excellent public speaker, a formidable foe and just a cool guy to be with, in any environment. I respected his work ethic and dedication and admired the partnership that the two of you shared, both in and out of the office. I am happy to say that I am a better person for having known Greg and sincerely believe that our world is a better place that he leaves behind because he was here and lived life to the fullest. You are in my thoughts and prayers, God Bless.

Dear Karen & Family, Greg and I were friends in undergrad at Xavier. We shared an apartment together for a year.I found out about his passing at a Xavier basketball game. He was a terrific guy, brilliant and dedicated. He was one of the smartest people I have ever met. What a loss, my heart goes out to you. Paul Triplett

I have lost another great friend. May God smile now that he has the Polish lawyer to advise Him.

I know that Greg Loved you very much Karen he spoke of you each time we talked.

My prayers are with you.

Rik,
I was sorry to hear of the loss of your father. I know how much he meant to you. I remember you at the tender age of 16, telling me the stories of your father, and how proud you were of him.
Take care and God bless

Rik,

I'm sorry to hear about the passing of your father. I did not know him, but remember with great fondness of all the stories you shared with us about his work. I know you were very proud of him, and he had all the reason in the world to be just as proud of you!
Please know I am always here for you.

Karen - I was shocked to hear of Greg's death. He was a remarkable man - so very witty, brilliant and fun. The two of you added so much vibrancy and compassion to one and other's lives. I can't imagine the manitude of your loss. I, too, will miss Greg. My love to you. Joy Feinberg, Chicago

Dear Karen, I am so very sorry about Greg's passing. He was a truly amazing man. He was a lawyer's lawyer, brave and compasionate. We will all miss him greatly. Scott Gertz

Greg was one of the smartest, funniest and most generous people I have ever known and one of the best lawyers in Chicago. He was a "Good Soul."
He will always hold a special place in my heart and memories.

Dear Karen,
Bruce told me what had happened and I was so very sorry to hear. We haven't kept in touch over the years, but I remember what a nice person you were back in the "pool" days. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Karen: I am so sorry to hear about Greg's passing. You and Greg were such a wonderful source of support and encourgement for me as a young lawyer. What you taught me I continue to use today. What I know too is that Greg loved and admired you more than anyone - he was your biggest fan.

I was so saddened to hear of your loss by Greg's death. Greg was my late husband's best friend at Catholic U and the best man at our wedding in Rochester, NY in 1972. I have many wonderful memories of those law school days. When my husband passed away in 1985 he somehow found me and called me. We had a long conversation that was a great comfort to me. He was the best of friends.

Dear Karen: Greg was one of the finest attorneys and human beings on the face of the Earth. He made great contributions to the legal culture of Cook County with his expert knowledge and skills and his genuine compassion and love for others. I am blessed to have worked for you and Greg as a young attorney. Judge Joyce Murphy Gorman. Circuit Court Cook County

Sorry about the passing of Greg Adamski; I worked for him briefly in the 90s, before he married. He was very nice and appreciative of my computer skills. And he also had a smile on his face. May he rest in peace

Dear Karen,
I sat behind Greg at Ignatius in Latin. (He was incredibly resourceful in creation and placement of "ponies" to aid in his translations.) He invited me for a weekend at his summer place in Indiana. I have been away from Chicago for thirty plus years and when I contacted him a couple of years ago he told me how he couldn't believe how lucky he was to have you as his partner--in marriage. He was larger than life. My most heartfelt sympathies.
