I have had the pleasure to have worked with and known Wiley (Willy) since 1973. He was a hard worker, liked to laugh and have fun with his co-workers. We who worked with him at the Tonawanda forge will never forget his laughter and his dedication to his co-workers. It was truly an honor to have him as a friend. May my friend rest in peace.

I was so sorry to hear about Will's passing. He and I worked at the Tonawanda Forge for many years. He was a good man and a dear friend. Unfortunately,once we retired we had little contact although he was always in my thoughts. Your family is in our prayers.
