Adam

The funeral service will be streamed live on the First Lutheran Church website: https://www.harveyfirstlutheran.com/
Our beloved husband, father, grandpa, brother and friend, Reinhold Adam, 85, passed away at home on July 16, 2022, after a year-long battle with leukemia.
Reinhold was born September 17, 1936 in Martin, ND to Katharina and Edwin Adam. He grew up on the family farm south of Martin. Reinhold graduated from Martin High School as Salutatorian for the class of 1955.
Reinie married Rosella (Rath) Adam on April 26, 1963 in Martin, ND. They moved to Harvey and lived there for over 56 years with their four children; Melodie, Neil, Jason and Brigette.
Reinie worked as a farmer and a partsman for various Implement dealers all his life. He was a walking encyclopedia on farming parts and equipment. He enjoyed spending time outdoors, camping, fishing and spending time with his friends and family. He loved playing cards (pinochle) and board games, and trying his luck at the slot machines at the casinos.
Reinie was kind to everyone he met and will be dearly missed. He was a member of First Lutheran Church of Harvey. After moving to Wisconsin a year ago for treatment, Reinie and Rosella continued to watch First Lutheran's services online. His faith was important to him and he loved staying connected with his hometown church.
Reinie is survived by his wife of 59 years, Rosella Adam; children Melodie (Mike) Elwood of Hudson, WI, Neil (Karen) Adam of Minot, ND, Jason (Kim) Adam of Hudson, WI, and Brigette (Matt) Peterson of Greenfield, MN; 7 grandchildren (Casey, Brendin, Jordan, Aubrey, Keely, Elsa, and Cayce.); 3 great-grandchildren (SkyLynn, RaeLenn, Kieran); brother-in-law, Ralph (Elaine) Rath of Devils Lake, ND.
Reinie was preceded in death by his father in 1968, his mother in 1977; his sister Bertha in 1996; sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Gladys and Clifford Wagner, sister-in-law and brother-in-law Darlene and Eldean Hase, sister-in-law and brother-in-law Dorothy and Jerome Putz.
Visitation service will be held at Hertz Funeral Home on Wednesday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Reinie's funeral will be on Thursday, July 21st at 10:30am at First Lutheran Church in Harvey. Burial will follow in Sunnyside Cemetery, Harvey, ND.
