I remember  his lovely wife, Carol and Adam being  so kind to us. We spent some quality time all together with my sister Elly, and her soul mate George.  Adam was a man that had to show you a good time and always take care of family.   We had a special day at Disney world.    A very special memory.  R.I P.  Adam 

It has been many years, but, after Jimmy passed in 2009, a lot of childhood memories flooded back. Now that "Billy" has passed, I am remembering, once again. Living across the street, on Ridge Hill Drive: although I was younger, the boys, Billy, George and Jimmy always included me in a lot of activities. The best thoughts are of all of the Christmas mornings, with the boys and Demona, where my parents would find me at the Clatsoff home, always having a stocking along with everyone else. Mrs. Clatsoff would usually knit winter mitts and a toque. A Jewish celebration with a fantastic Macedonian family.A lot of great thoughts of a wonderful family. 
My sincerest condolences to all of the family!

Adam was a giant among men..A true visionary leader. His love of his family and God where there in his Chapel within his corporate offices. I will remember his joy in his missions of love.  RIP my friend.

I met Adam  when my cousin Jacque married Adam’s daughter Heather. He has a larger than life presence. In 2012 he and my cousins Jacque and Nick Doucette , and Jacque’s son Nickolas visited my home in Maryland. We had a blast with them. I could easily tell how devoted Adam is to his family by the way he spoke of them ... all of them ... his wife Carole, his son and daughter, the Doucette’s including my Aunt Judy and Uncle Jack, and naturally his grandchildren. I never got to hear his radio show but I imagine it was lively and entertaining. A person of Adams statute will certainly be missed ... but he leaves powerful, wonderful memories to sustain those who love him. RIP Adam. 

To  the Clatsoff family.My condolence for the passing of Adam.He was a great teacher of insurance and a great person.I had a great experience working for Adam and your family.A lot of great trips and memories.


I had a unique spot in this mans life, somewhere between family and friend. It’s a good spot to be with Adam because you got caring and a direct order all in one. Hard to explain but it did me good. Adam, thank you for the advice and love you gave me. Thank you for not sugar coating the important information you felt I needed.  I know you’re in a place where you can watch over us and help us as you’ve always have. My dad meant the world to me and I couldn’t see it until he had moved on. I feel you’re with him now. Please watch over all of us. We are what you’ve  helped us become. Thank you Adam! Dads are a wonderful thing. 

Adam was special. He had amazing presence, as did every member of his family.  He was an important figure in my life, especially growing up. He gave me life advice usually seasoned with humor, which I think I needed. He and Carole were both good at making me laugh. 
I will always remember gatherings at his home, and he and Carole made me feel like family.  Those times brought joy to me and my family, and I cherish those memories as I will cherish my memories of Adam. 

My childhood memories growing up in Coral Springs are sprinkled with the many great times my family spent with Adam, Carol,  Heather and Billy.  To me, what stood out above all else, was that Adam was a powerhouse entrepreneur.  He had a powerful presence and his American spirit was always front and center.  I marveled at his knowledge and ability to articulate every side of an issue.  His heart was large and giving.  I can remember many trips to Disney World driving in his light blue Cadillac.  He had a contagious smile that made you smile.  While I didn't see him very often in the past few years, I will be forever grateful that I knew him and the Clatsoff family.       

I would like to wish my condolences to the whole family. Adam was such a warm hearted caring person. He was always in good spirits and always made everyone around him feel like they were important to him. He was always good to my brother and I growing up and he will be missed. I’m so glad I had him in my life growing up and I will never forget him. 

Adam was larger than life, but when he was speaking with you, his full attention was on you and it created a special space.  Adam and the entire Clatsoff family have been extremely special  to me and my family as far back as I remember and then when I met my wife, they all became as special to her.  There are people that you love regardless of who they are, and then there are those special people that truly embody the word great.  Adam was a great man. 

My sincere condolences to the Clatsoff  Family.  Adam was a very special person.  May his Soul Rest in Eternal Peace. 


I remember when you and Carole took  Mom & Dad, Elly & I to Disney World for New Years. What a super great time we had. Rest in peace brother. l will catch up with you later. Your loving brother George xoxo


Adam was my mentor and was instrumental in guiding me towards my second career when I moved to Florida almost 30 years ago. His teaching and sales skills will never be matched. He had a big heart and will always be remembered by all those he touched.

My love and heart go out to all of you. George and I have so many fond memories of all our visits, our trips to the Keys and wonderful restaurants, but most of all the love we all shared. We will miss him greatly and remember him forever. He was a wonderful man, brother and friend. Our love to all.

Hi carol and family,  my deepest condolences  to all. He will truly be missed by all.  
I remember when Ian and I came down to Florida  we got in touch  with both you and Adam.  We met you at Disneyland.  We had a wonderful day and Adam  and you  treated  us  like a king and queen.  It was a fun filled day.  It will live in my heart forever.   
May he rest in peace, he will never be forgotten.   I spoke to George.

Adam had a larger than life personality, a true leader and visionary.  Respected by everyone.  

Dear Bill,

Your Dad was a special guy, a visionary who looked outside of the box. I know this time must be difficult for you but know that within you is passed down the gift to continue Adam’s legacy.

He’s in a better place amongst the stars looking down on the rest of us.

Love to the Entire Clatsoff Family,
Tim Deratany

It was an honor to  serve with Adam  for almost a decade on the Florida Health Insurance Advisory Board.  I adored his larger-than-life personality and matter-of-fact manner of communication.  I learned so much by sitting at his side all those years.  I am truly saddened by his passing, and send my heartfelt sympathy to those closest to him.

Rest in Peace Adam, one of the kindest bosses I've ever known.  Thank you for rescuing me from the many Florida rain storms that I encountered while riding my bicycle to and from work. I don't know of any other boss that would toss their employees wet bicycle into their car and give the employee a ride.
Condolences and healing prayers to the Clatsoff Family.
