Senen Adon “Adam” Calinda, 76, passed away peacefully in the loving care of his family on October 28, 2023. He was born on February 10, 1947, in the Bronx, NY to Senen and Mercedes Rodriguez.

He proudly served his country as a member of the Unites States Army, serving two tours in Vietnam. Upon his return he became a community leader and worked for the state of New York. In 1991 he relocated to Maryland to take a position with the Department of Labor as a Contract Specialist, from which he eventually retired.

Senen was involved in the Latin community where he was recognized as an effective advocate for human rights, particularly focused on those in the Puerto Rican community and Veterans. He was very outgoing and social; with his infectious smile, every person he met quickly became a new friend. He had genuine love for people and had great pride in his children and grandson. He will be sorely missed by those who knew and loved him.

Senen is survived by his children, Senen Calinda, III, Viviana Rodriguez-Calinda, and Christopher aCalinda; he was the beloved brother of Anthony “Tony” Calinda, Magda Calinda, and the late Lydia Calinda.
