Wallace was born on February 1, 1924 to Wallace and Sadie McAdam and was a life long resident of Eureka. Wallace's family settled in Humboldt County in the 1870's.
He was preceded in death by his wife Isabella McAdam. He is survived by his daughter Jean McAdam of Eureka and his son David McAdam and his daughter-in law Deborah Napolitano of Walworth, NY. He has one granddaughter Leah McAdam of Walworth, NY.
