The 4 PM memorial will take place at St. Bartholomew’s Church, located at 325 Park Avenue in New York City.
The service will be an ecumenical service led by Rabbi Robert Summers; Rev. Lynn Sanders, Associate Rector at St. Bart’s; and Rev. F.M “Buddy” Stallings, Priest in Charge at St. Bart’s.
Mr. Adler’s children will speak, and Paul Katz and Colleen Fitzpatrick will offer a musical tribute.
The memorial is open to the public.
With writing partner Jerry Ross, Mr. Adler wrote the music and lyrics to back-to-back Best Musical Tony winners The Pajama Game (in 1955) and Damn Yankees (in 1956). He is survived by his wife; his children, Andrew Adler, Katherine Adler and Charles Shipman; and three grandchildren, Damien and Scarlett Adler and Lola Jane Shipman.
