Billy Roberts Adams Sr., 83, died April 20, 2010, at Caring Hearts Assisted Living in Wasilla due to natural causes.
A funeral will be at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, April 24, at Valley Funeral Home, 151 E. Herning Ave., Wasilla, AK 99654. A public viewing will be from 10 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., as well as after the service. Pastor Brian Thomas and the Rev. Ray Hibberd will be officiating. Interment will be at Palmer Pioneer Cemetery.
Billy was born Nov. 29, 1926 in Ellisville, Miss., to Arthur H. and Anna W. (Roberts) Adams. He graduated high school at Tilden Technical High School in Chicago, Ill. He was a radio technician in the U.S. Army.
In January 1970, Billy moved to Alaska. He lived in Bethel for 22 years before moving to Palmer. He was employed as the director of plant facilities in the Lower Kuskokwim School District in Bethel from 1971 until 1988, when he retired.
He was a member of the Wasilla Lake Church of the Nazarene. He enjoyed working with computers, genealogy, woodworking and also enjoyed working as a locksmith.
"When anyone asked for advice on any questions, minutes would pass. When prompted for his answer, he replied, 'I'm thinking.' The advice he finally gave was well worth waiting for," his family said. "He was a wonderful father and husband and will be missed by all."
He is survived by his wife, Georgia G. Adams of Palmer; brother, Jack Huntington Adams of Minnetonka, Minn.; son, Jeffrey A. Adams of Palmer; daughter, Ann L. Adams of Juneau; daughter, Roberta L. Fisher of Palmer; son, Steven S. Adams of Wasilla; daughter, Faith M. Dill of Greenfield, Ind.; son, Billy Roberts Adams Jr. of St. Louis; and 10 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his first wife, Kathrine A. Adams; son, Paul D. Adams; brothers, Hubert Barton and Arthur Harold Adams; and parents, Arthur Huntington Adams and Anna Wilena Roberts.
