| Bill Farmer "Stairway To The Stars"  |
"In life, Bill Farmer's spirit sought the vastness of outer space with all its challenges, mysteries, and opportunities. In death, he'll finally reach his destination." --The Star Press, October 22, 1996.
A native of Oklahoma, Mr. Farmer was a businessman and philosopher. He moved to San Bernardino, California in the 1940s where he owned a number of businesses, including an advertising company, a vending machine company, and a custom drapery firm. He also worked as a realtor and radio commentator. Surviving Mr. Farmer are three daughters and two sons-in-law; eight grandchildren; and eleven great grandchildren. KNOWLEDGE . . . and the day
will come . . . when the solar system will be little remembered;
as are the seas from whence we came, and the name of earth will
be seldom used, unless by some god like creature narrating a fading
legend, about a little world outgrown . . . far away among the
stars . . . SURVIVAL = KNOWLEDGE and NOW
