Terry and Shelly- Wow it has been so long. I have so many GREAT memories of Papa Bill. He always made each weekend fun and I couldn’t wait to spend time with all of you. Between bike rides with your mom and dad and great plane rides, your dad was very good to me. He will be greatly missed but he left behind some wonderful childhood memories for me. All of your families are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless you all.

The trip we took to Rogue River after the Salida building was sold was a trip I will never forget..
Thanks Virginia and Bill. Your kindness was much appreciated.
I remember when Bill announced his retirement and told me he was headed to Washington to live on a boat. I would think of him from time to time. What a great guy. I am sure he had a wonderful time. God bless the Adams family.
