Uwe Manfred Adler passed away Jan. 6, 2011, at the age of 62, after a courageous 
battle with cancer. 

Adler was born April 7, 1948 in Westfalen, Germany and arrived in the United 
States in May of 1957, traveling from Hamelin, Germany. 

The family settled in New Orleans, where Uwe graduated from Alcee Fortier High 
School and attended several semesters at Tulane University School of 
Architecture. He started a construction business in 1968 and specialized in the 
renovation of historic buildings, which was his passion. 

Uwe loved being a "weekend cowboy" at the Y O Ranch in Texas, where he rallied 
and helped direct "The Biggest Party in Texas" for 28 years, along with some 
very close friends. 

His love of life and interest in the lives of others was one of his most 
outstanding characteristics, and he wished to thank everyone he enjoyed and 
shared his time with, and advised to "live life, don't have it live you." He was 
always there for his family and friends, and never hesitated to lend a helping 
hand to anyone in need. Uwe was an extraordinary and unique individual, who 
never knew a stranger or an enemy.

He leaves behind his loving wife, Barbie Greeley Adler, the joy of his life; two 
sons, Greeley and Kurt Adler and faithful dog, Oscar Lee, all of Mandeville. He 
is also survived by his sisters, Christa Batiansila of Green Bay, Wisc., Rotraud 
(Karin) Alverson (Mac) of Tuscaloosa, Ala., and Margit Wingfield of Ocean 
Springs, Miss., and sister-in-law Kay Greeley LeGros of Horseshoe Bay, Texas, in 
addition to numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his father, 
Alfred Albert Adler, and mother, Erna Stasch Adler.

Family and friends are invited to a celebration of Uwe's life at noon Wednesday, 
January 19, 2011, at Pontchartrain Yacht Club, 1501 Lakeshore Dr., Mandeville. 
His final resting place will be his beloved Y O Ranch, in Mountain Home, Texas.

Happy trails, Uwe!
