Robert “Doc” Adelman aka Roatan Man

[hdtran]

I'll miss Doc (formerly known as RoatanMan)--never had the opportunity to meet him in person, but had great online public and private interactions.

Condolences to his family and all his friends and colleagues.

I'll pour a memorial amount of alcohol at CocoView in September 2024 in his memory.

Doc came to our trip leaders’ house in the Chicago area about 10 years for a group presentation on Coco View and Roatan before we left on our group trip there. He did this just because. Great person with tons of knowledge to share.

It behooves us to be aware that Doc Radowski and "Doc" Adelman are not the same man.

A life well lived, Doc. You certainly gave it your all.

I’m just learning of Doc’s passing after recently seeing a post of his and seeing the Rest in Peace under his name. What a great guy. I met him on a liveaboard many years back and he got me excited to give Roatan and CocoView a try. We’ve since been back to CCV and other places in Roatan quite a few times.

He also spurred my interest in all things macro. As someone else mentioned he gifted me a magnifying glass which I carried on dives until it fell apart and had to be replaced.

He loved his macro and Roatan and spread that love with a lot of others.
