My wife and I are saddened to learn the passing of
Dr. Adzimah while surfing on the internet.
We have known Dr. Adzimah for over 40 years while we
both lived at Union Street in Flushing, Queens.
Partick was the one who introduced us to Dr. Adzimah
and his son Oliver and his family member Evelyn.
We admired his professionalizm and his competence in
providing excellent care to me and my family as well few
Ethiopia friends. He was loved and admired by all who
knew him.
After retiring we moved to North Carolina and somehow we lost contact over the years and to find out his passing on the internet was a shock to us.
His favorite dish was my wife's lazagna which he enjoyed and always asked her to make it for him.
Dr Adizmah was not only a friend to us but part of our
family.
Our beloved friend we will miss you and may
you rest in peace.

If Patrick and Evelyn see this message we would appreciate it if you could please contact us.

Saw the video. Great job with the funeral. So unfortunate that COVID-19 and the weather prevented many from attending. May Uncle Joe rest in perfect peace.

Doctor, as he was affectionately known to me. I knew him from my growing up years in Hohoe. He attended St. Augustine’s Secondary School with my brothers Felix and Joseph.
Doctor had a great influence on my educational career. We met at Bishop Herman Secondary School in Kpando, where he taught me English Literature. Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson, a tale of pirates and villains, maps, and shipwreck, and by far the best adventure story ever written, was one of the books he read and analyzed with us in class. I developed a liking for such stories and promised myself to retrace the route of the voyage in the story someday.
As a family friend and big brother, he invited me to stop by in New York, on one of my trips from Accra to Milwaukee Wisconsin, and I did.
Our next chance meeting was one day in downtown Chicago, IL. The usual greetings of how are you doing? Are you now living in Chicago, IL? Nice to see you again, would have been enough, but not for Doctor. We decided to meet at the Playboy Club in the evening.
From then on it was the occasional phone calls to keep in touch, and the seasonal greetings.
I will cherish our friendship forever, and he will be sorely missed.
My condolences to his family, and may the Lord grant him peace and eternal rest, till we meet again.

Uncle Jones is the first uncle I can remember. He was there right from the beginning and through every phase of life. I remember he would come to our place in Brooklyn after work for dinner sometimes. I was young but I remember enjoying his presence so much that when he would leave I would sit at the window and watch until I couldn't see his car anymore. On some of those diner occasions we got a wonderful surprise, my sister and I were going with him for a fun filled weekend in Scarsdale. I can not think of our collective family without thinking about Uncle's home. He opened his heart and home to so many people on so many occasions. Most major holidays consisted of all the family gathering at Uncle's for several days. The party was always great, but arguably, the best part was the following days enjoying the stories, singing, and culture of our elders and playing endlessly with our cousins!
Uncle would stop in to say hi to the kids and would randomly impart tidbits of knowledge. He'd ask us things like "What is the fastest mammal on land?", followed by a good discussion:-) I always admired how even after a great party on a Saturday night, he would go downstairs to his office on Sunday morning and spend a good portion of the day reading and staying abreast of medical developments. His well of knowledge never ending. Even at the moment that my dad passed away, it was Uncle Jones who was on the phone with us at the hospital assisting with his medical opinion. He was like a second father to us.

We'll miss him terribly but I feel blessed for the time we had with him. There's a Sam Cooke song Uncle used to play that always makes me smile and think of him. It's titled What A Wonderful World. Very fitting, as Uncle gave the world his best and did make it all the more wonderful💞

Rest in peace Uncle.
Love you always.

Dr Adzimah , “ uncle Joe” as we called him, was blessed with so much. Our parents were good friends from early days in Westchester. As children growing up he became very dear to us. We looked forward to the family visits to his beautiful welcoming home on holidays. His big heart towards family and friends alike was nearly unparalleled. a Caring and noteable physician , encouraging elder, joyful, ever welcoming, He opened his home for respite to so many over the years . Most heartening is how he would always have a little “gift” for i and my siblings on holidays; even clean through our early adulthood/college years, he continued to remember us ,(when he really did not have to,) . Just recently I was fondly remembering uncle Joe and asking God to remember him and bless him for all his generosity towards us and others over those early years.I was saying how it would be so nice to pay him a surprise visit soon and convey our deep appreciation...Not knowing the following week , just a week shy of my own beloved Late mom’s birthday, I would hear from my sister of the sudden sad news of his passing. Uncle Joe was definitely given much by God ..and so he gave much. He gave much ..and was given more... As God’s word tells us in Proverbs 11:24 “one person gives freely, yet gains even more...” May uncle Joe’s legacy of caring and giving endure throughout his generations. May God comfort and strengthen his family , in Jesus’s name. Amen .We will Love you always uncle Joe.

He was a true uncle. He went out of his way to help many who were not even truly related. He will be blessed.

My deepest sympathy to the Adzimah family. I know how much Dr. Adzimah will be miss. He was a very kind soul! To Vencia and William, “well done good and faithful servants!” Matthew 25:21. You both truly took care of him. He is at rest and so should you. Peace, Love, Blessings!
