A lifelong Marlborough resident, he was the son of the late Adrian and Sarah (Pontbriand) Temple and the brother of the late George Temple and Shirley (Temple) Dupont.
In 1984 Adrian worked for the Department of Public Works for the City of Marlborough as a heavy equipment operator. After two years he acquired a fulltime position as a Marlborough firefighter. In 2011 he retired after 25 years of public service. He also worked for many years at the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy in Stow, MA

He found pleasure in staying with friends, enjoying a Captain and Coke, and attending the Spring and Fall car shows in Carlisle, PA. He also liked camping and was a gifted wood carver.
As a teen he enjoyed "cruising the main" and was proud to give his friends a ride in his mustang!
He is survived by his cousins, nieces, nephews and many good friends.
