Recitals
Adam D. Cockey, Jr., was a person who made a difference. Active in philanthropy, he served as a past board and executive committee member of the League for the Disabled and was a past president of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. To quote his business partner, Carol J. Schmidt, "Adam had a sense of humor. He was kind and genuine. He cared about people and causes and was respected statewide and nationally."
As the owner of Wyndhurst Station, he was an important steward of a key commercial property that is located adjacent to the Stony Run Park in the Greater Roland Park area of Baltimore City. He maintained the historic appearance of the 14,000 square foot property, which was originally built as a station house for the Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad.
When he acquired the property, he provided a public easement for the Stony Run Park and Walking Path. In 2011, he agreed to donate the land to the City to be made a permanent part of the Stony Run Park, but sadly passed away before the land could be transferred. His wife and son agreed to donate the property in his honor.
