To the Adams Family and Friends,

I'm so sorry to have read about your loss of William Adams Jr. Their are many aspects of William's life that would and should serve as a motivating force for us today. His loyalty to family, friends and others he met along the way while working, also the values instilled in his children and most important his recognition of his spiritual need (Matthew 5:3). His compassion, love,and gentle way will never be forgotten. May the God of peace be with you.

So sorry to hear of your dad's passing. I remember him as such a calm, compassionate, loving person. He had to be with all the friends coming in and out of your house. He and your mom had a long loving marriage and he was a gentle God fearing man. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
