Adam Roses, born on Jan. 9, 1946, in Greenwich Village, N.Y., passed away suddenly on Nov. 27, 2022, while raking leaves in his yard. He was the son of Joseph and Sylvia Schneider Roses of Oak Bluffs.
Adam was a Navy veteran. He attended UMass Amherst, Northeastern University, and trained at the Culinary Institute in New Haven, Conn. Adam was a laboratory technician who worked for more than 40 years at Harvard Vanguard (Atrius Health).
He loved classical music, like his father, brothers, and sister. He was well-known for his ability to tinker and fix things. In retirement, he enjoyed traveling with his wife, and striking up conversations with anyone and everyone. He had the ability to make others laugh.

He leaves several nieces and nephews, Chad Kraus, Wayne Kraus (Amanda), Chris Harderson, Jackie Weber (Lynn), Kathy Courtney (John), Bret Harderson (Pam), Patrick Kraus (Whitney), Teresa Hanson (Dan), Rachel Stegner (Terry), and Timothy and Arian Gregory, all from Iowa and Kansas City, Kansas.
