A reporter-turned-editor-turned-bureau chief for the Canadian Press, he “loved the newsroom and the characters that inhabited it,” says his daughter, Nancy Adler. He was born Joseph William Phillip Adler in Montreal to a teenage Bill Adler and his wife, the former Cecilia Metz. The other was as a delivery boy for a florist after school.”At 14, Adler became a copy boy for the Canadian Press (CP). Through it all, journalism was his passion, and the Canadian Press, his tool. “While tempted by job offers at foreign offices and AP (the Associated Press), he was ever-loyal to CP,” says Nancy.
