Bill took joy in spending time at the beach with his family in Depoe Bay, OR, where they vacationed each year. He is survived by his wife, Rita; son, Brian Adams; daughter, Stephanie Eaton; granddaughter, Sophia Eaton; sister, Renee O’Shea; and brother, Earl Irvin. He was preceded in death by his parents, sister Vicky Shively and brother Jimmy Irvin.

Bill was always a good friend to me. So many good & fun memories. I am so sorry I had no knowledge of when the service would be held until after it had been. I am so very sorry Bill left us so soon- but I know he is in a much better place. I continue to pray for you all. I know Jesus will hold you close and comfort you. Thank you for having this area of condolences. Debbie Kuehn
