I had known Willie for 23 years. We started out playing cards, then I went out to his house and started doing woodworking together. I spent lots of time in his shop, we made a mountain of sawdust together. He was a very good teacher Then we started fishing and even went to Canada once. Willie was quite a guy to be around, I will miss seeing him. Maybe when we meet again he will have a workshop in heaven.
We are so sorry to hear about Willie. We enjoyed getting to know him at Winter Ranch. We will keep you and your family in our prayers.

Bruce,
I am so sorry to hear about Willie. Even though he was a quite man, I always found him to be sweet, gentle, and very nice. And every so often, his humor came through. He also had a beautiful smile. Please know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
