My husband and I did memorial services at Sycamore Health Center during the three years we lived in Quincy. Adelbert was always faithful to be there in memory and honor of his friends. Also, I played the piano and we sang various type of songs one Friday a month. Adelbert taught me "Pistol Packin Momma". He was a delight and interesting.He will be missed.
