I will defiantly miss this gentle soul , I have known Willie since I was about 8yrs old, through my cousin Felonda. I can tell you he never forgot me and even though I lived in NY when I came in town he would meet me or call. He always had my back and and encouraged me. Praying for my extended family in you time of grief and asking God to strengthen and keep his arms around you all.
