This obituary ran in the local Casper Star Tribune in Wyoming where I grew up.
I did not know this gentleman, but I wish I would have!! I bet he was a skater in his younger years!!
James William "Jim" Adams
Monday, September 15, 2008 2:05 AM MDT
Casper Star Tribune
DOUGLAS -- A celebration of life for James William "Jim" Adams, 53, will be held at a later date.
He died Tuesday, Sept. 9, 2008 at Memorial Hospital of Converse County in Douglas, Wyoming.
Jim, who had tired of reading obituaries noting other's courageous battles with this or that disease, wanted it known that he lost his battle. It was primarily as a result of being stubborn and not following doctor's orders or maybe for just living life a little too hard for better than five decades.
He was born June 8, 1955 in Garrison, N.D. the son of James William and Ruby Helen (Clark) Adams.
He was sadly deprived of his final wish, which was to be run over by a beer truck on the way to the liquor store to buy booze for a date. True to his personal style, he spent his final hours joking with medical personnel, cussing and begging for narcotics and bargaining with God to look over his loving dog, Biscuit, and his family.
He would like to thank all "his ladies" for putting up with him the last 30 years.
During his life, he excelled at anything he put his mind to. He loved to hear and tell jokes and spin tales of grand adventures he may or may not have had.
He is survived by five sons, Jeremiah Adams and his wife, Nicole, Mica Olivas, Wade Olivas, Brice Simpson and Cole Adams; sister, Jerri Giegerich; two ex-wives, Vickie Harrison and Marilyn Williams; four grandchildren; two nieces; and two great-nieces.
He was preceded in death by his parents and a brother-in-law.
In lieu of flowers, he asks that you make a sizeable purchase at your favorite watering hole, get rip roaring drunk and tell the stories he no longer can.
Gorman Funeral Homes - Converse Chapel of Douglas is in charge of the arrangements.

Another BIG THANKS to Steve Collins( Real Cool Family! )...

and meet his lovely daughter "DR. CARLIE FAVERO" !
When Chris Chaput was acknowledged for getting 3RD Place -
-he was walking up going: "Oh my back - my aching back."
And I said: "Wait a minute- wasn't it your shoulder surgery
that you were healing up from?"
Then Chris said: "Oh yeah - my aching shoulder!"
Ya know what -it doesn't matter -this BIONIC guy

We had a fun little race Friday night here in Pedro down by the waterfront. It was great to see Keith & Michelle Hollein out from Florida and Chris Favero from Chicago, visiting his daughter Carlie at APU. Thanks to Michelle for running the timer and to CFav for the sick ChiXill deck. Thanks also to Abec11 & Sk8kings for the sponsorship & swag and to my wife Noel & daughter Sophia for course marshaling.
Maysey and Richy were just awesome on the big open course, insane power and speed on the otherwise mellow bike path. Chaput emerged from semi-retirement and kicked butt to round out the podium, followed closely by Keith. MSK got to live out his dream and beat Lynn Kramer. Better watch out now amigo! Tim Kienitz & CFav beat me & Rene in the B group, but nobody can beat Rene for style. Newcomer Neal Ryke jammed his Sector9 through the course like a walk in the park. Come out to practice buddy (Thurs 9:30pm) and you too will be beating me in no time. Thanks to all for the fun and camaraderie. Like Noel always says, the best bunch of folks in any sport.

So Cal GS Series -- JPL #3 Report

Well -- low cloud cover and misty rain hit the normally hot and sunny JPL venue early a.m. We forged ahead to get everything set up and hoped for the best. Racers begain arriving including special out of state guests Wentzl Ruml, Keith Hollien, Chris Favero along with the So Cal crew -- Kosick, Maysey, Kramer, Cox, Kaelon, Collins and new-comer Anthony Anaya -- to join us and wait for things to dry up. The waterworks stopped for a bit, the hill was nearly dry enough to be safe, and then it started raining again. We left for lunch in the hopes it would pass but that didn't happen. The die-hard vigil continued late into the afternoon. Though we didn't get to race we made the most of hanging out together and everyone got to drool over the venue potential. Sorry guys. Thanks to the racers & supporters for coming out and being such good sports all day.
Many Thanks to our generous sponsors who donated schwag for this event Khiro Products, Oust Bearings, Randal Trucks, PocketPistols and Skaterbuilt -- your support is much appreciated and we will roll the prize pool over to the series finale race -- set for Saturday, October 25 at Pump Station San Diego.
See ya then!

Happy Birthday, Rene! You and Richy were two of the first "famous" people I ever heard of in skateboarding. I remember watching you on TV in a 360 spin-off. I was amazed then and still am now.
Have a good one!
