Here's Anne-Christine d'Adesky's father's Obit.  She was born in Michigan and after reading about her, in her own words, I don't believe she is part of a CT ring. She's an advocate for rape victims who seems to avoid association with her relatives.  (Whether it's because she's an activist for gender issues and that clashes with them, who knows).  Still need to do digging on the rest of the family. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/news-journalonline/obituary.aspx?n=raymond-george-dadesky&pid=107239922 Dr. Raymond George d'Adesky Obituary "We were so sad to hear about Dr D'adesky-we just heard the..."  - richard & Nancy johnson  Raymond George d'Adesky, 86, a longtime local pediatrician and child's rights advocate, died Friday, April 4, in Daytona Beach, after a sudden and acute bout of lung disease. He died peacefully at Halifax Medical Center, surrounded by his family and close friends. He leaves behind three siblings, four children, and several grandchildren, many nieces and nephews and a longtime partner, Iris Eisenberg. "Dr. D," as he was affectionately called, was still an active doctor after settling his practice 45 years ago in the Daytona Beach area. In his last days, he was visited by three generations of patients, including Halifax Hospital colleagues.  He was also a specialist in allergy and infectious diseases, who helped found Halifax's Pediatric Intensive Care wing. A resident of Ormond Beach, he was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, where the family has longtime roots. His father, Raymond, was named the first Belgian Consul to Haiti at age 18; his mother, Edith Duncombe, had family ties in England and Haiti.  As a young man, he loved plants and hoped for a career in horticulture, but his family pushed him to study medicine. He was sent to the prestigious Sorbonne University's Faculté de Medecine in Paris, graduating the highest grade of his class. In Paris, he met and later married, Viviane Marie Therese Berthoin, a chic art student who moonlighted at the perfume counters at the Dior store. In France's failing post-war World War II economy, an emergency decree banned foreign doctors from practicing in France, so he moved to the United States, sailing on the Queen Elizabeth. Before leaving, he asked Viviane to marry him. The newly married couple settled in Detroit, and started a family then moved to Marquette. Their children are: Kathy, now 55; Serge, 52; Anne-christine, 50; and Philippe, 45. For years the family regularly vacationed to stay with a large extended family in Haiti and Europe. They relocated to Florida in 1963, lured by warmer weather and proximity to relatives. In addition to medicine, his passion was gardening. He loved art and music. Viviane, a sculptor, became an award-winning jeweler before dying in 1980, a long battle with cancer. The d'Adesky's were early supporters of the London Symphony Orchestra, the Museum of Arts and Sciences, and the Ormond Memorial Art Museum. Both Viviane d'Adesky and daughter, Kathy, exhibited their work locally, while Raymond personally championed their art. Dr. D distinguished himself both as a sharp clinician and compassionate pediatrician who advocated for the healthcare of orphans and vulnerable children. He worked with the Northern Michigan Children's Clinic in Marquette. In 1983, he was honored with the R. David Thomas Child Advocate of the Year award for a four county area of east coast Florida from the Children's Home Society of Florida, for his "accomplishments and philanthropy." It is the highest honor given annually by the agency, given to those who assist homeless, abused or neglected children. He took a holistic approach to medicine and healing that considered each child and patient as "unique psychologically as well as physiologically." A nutrition advocate, he supported the work of groups like La Leche league that promote safe breastfeeding. Dr D. was a real "people person," vibrant, enthusiastic, generous. He loved his family, to travel the world, cook, dance, listen to classical music, read, debate politics, drink good wines and entertain at home. He loved his garden. He spoke many languages and was endlessly curious. He is remembered as a loving father and grandfather, uncle and brother, as well as a mentor, teacher and friend by younger doctors and students. In recent years, he and his partner Iris, also a physician, traveled widely. He was also a remarkable lifelong home caretaker for daughter, Kathy, following a debilitating illness in her 20's. Family and friends will privately celebrate his life by creating a memorial garden at his Ormond home. There will be a public celebration at the Museum of Arts and Sciences tentatively scheduled for Saturday, May 10 at 4 p.m.  In lieu of donations, the family is setting up a special fund in his honor to benefit L'Arc-en-Ciel (Rainbow House) an AIDS orphanage in his birth city, Port-au-Prince. …  Raymond leaves behind a grateful, loving family and wide community of loved ones and friends. In addition to his partner, Iris, and his four children, there are his sisters, Chantal and Evelyn; a surviving brother, Pierre and their children and grandchildren; Ginette d'Adesky, the wife of his beloved deceased brother, Lionel, and her children and grandchildren; son Serge's wife, Clara, and their children, Viviane and Eric; Clara's siblings, Ricardo, Patricia and Victoria "Toto" Valencia and Toto's husband, Todd Roberts; his Anne-christine's daughter, Lucy Blue; a nephew, Claude Berthoin and his wife, Michaelle, and their daughter, Claudia; another grandniece, Lara Berthoin and her mother, Linda Andrulis. He will be missed by Viviane's siblings: sisters, Mary-Christine Serieyx and Florence Berthoin and their children and grandchildren; and by Catherine d'Adesky in Brussels and relatives on the Haitian side.  He also leaves behind his "adoptive" children: Dr. Stephen Coleman, David Pagnon, and Becky Lambert; and longtime, close friends including Lawrence and Sybil Borns; Frances and Van Massey; Evelyn and Leonard Sachs, and Ann Moore the list goes on. As the Borns say affectionately, "Raymond was such a special and unique man people like him don't come along every day." He will be remembered as a wonderful man and talented physician who loved life and lived it passionately and a certain French elán - an armchair philosopher, global citizen, and patron of the arts who retained his youthful zest for life and commitment to caring for others until his last breath.
