I would like to say that we fondly referred to William as "Grandpa William!" My husband and I are both "transplants" to California. We are good friends of Judy and shared many holiday and family celebrations with William and Trinidad. My kids would refer to them as Grandpa William and Grandma Trinidad - and because our own parents lived miles away, William and Trinidad were like surrogate grandparents! One memory I carry is on Maria Bateman's first birthday, William was there with his guitar. He played his music and Maria and our son Jacob danced around the room....well as much as one year olds can dance! Grandpa William always had a smile on his face and he loved playing that guitar for the kids. I know we will always cherish and carry William's music in our hearts. Our love and prayers....Susan, Chris, Jake and Claire

Mr. Bill Valadez, you will be missed but not forgotten. You were a great insperation in my life. Playing the guitar with you was one of the most enjoyable times in my life. God be with you and all the angels in his kingdom.

My Father-in-Law was a great man. He was always kind to me and he loved his family, especially his grandchildren. He was a superb musician especially on guitar. May God bless him and keep him always.

Judy,
My prayers are with you and your family. I remember your father as a very patient and kind man. You were lucky to have such a wonderful father.
