George thank you for coming down and being able to see Willie. Your sisters came down later and even played him a tune on my piano. Fun afternoon!
Willy was one of a kind, he showed interest in everyone’s lives around him from what I got to know of him. Always able to crack a smile on your face. A truly gentle heart. He will be missed by many!

RIP Willie……………Willie was always good to me. I’ll miss talking spoon plugging and miss my baby swiss wheels he would bring me from down southEast!!!
The boys really tried getting him out on the lake one last time, but just couldn’t get it done. He is probably fishing somewhere now as we speak.

We just heard about Brian’s passing. We always enjoyed his sales visits and quite often, he would gift us with one of his “nice pens”. Sorry for your loss.
