Robert, you are greatly missed. I enjoyed seeing you and being part of your care. I loved seeing that big smile whenever we met. Nancy and Jimmy took great care of you and I know they must miss you terribly. This has been a loss for all of us but now I am sure that you are now watching over them.

Nancy, your closest friends worried about this day since we've known you because of the special relationship you had with your amazing dad and knowing how important you were to each other. He was such a positive influence and support in your life. He was a true gentleman respected by everyone who had the honor of knowing him because of his integrity and wisdom. His spirit will continue to provide all of you with strength and guidance.

Dearest Robert,
It was my pleasure and honor to have been involved in your care. I met you when I was a fellow 4-5yrs ago and continued to take care of you in my clinic. You were always kind, appreciative and had a big heart. I smiled every time I saw you and always looked forward to seeing you in my clinic and hear about your stories. You are such a sweet and genuine soul. I am blessed to have been a part of your life.
You will be always missed and please know that you are a great loss to us all. My deepest sympathy and condolences to your beautiful family.

Mr. Willman, it was a pleasure treating you when you got sick. All of the great stories about you from Jimmy and Nancy really made you come to life. I heard about what a great person you were and how close your family was. It's obvious you were well loved for being such a great father and grandfather and you loved everyone around you. Just looking through your guest book I see more great stories about you from the many people whose hearts you touched. God has called you home, but I'm sure you're still watching over your children and grandchildren. Deepest condolences to the family.

God created a perfect role model and mentor. I was lucky enough to call him my Papa. Words cannot describe how much this man means to me. I know I wouldn't be where I am without his wisdom and guidance. I will forever cherish the memories we shared together. My papa's presence in my life is still strong even though he is no longer physically here. Nobody can take him away from my heart. I've tried to live my life in a way that will make him proud and I will continue to strive for that goal. For I hope that one day I can be at least half the man that you were Papa. I will forever love you and I can't wait until we see each other once again.
Love your Grandson,

I knew Mr Willman for the last 2 years as one of his physicians. No matter how sick he was on different visits, he always had that winning smile on his face. He was a thorough gentleman , a loving father and a proud veteran. Nancy and Jim, you guys took great care of him. Prayers and fond memories are what we have to remember our dearly departed. May the love of family and friends comfort you during these difficult days. My deepest condolences. Rest in peace my friend!

Having heard about Mr. Willman for years but only meeting him last year after the passing of his dear friend Robert Fruehauf, I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to the family. Speaking with him late last summer at his ranch and watching his eyes light up when he quoted his friend as saying " There aren't many good people in the world, but Bob you are one of the good ones" , was a very touching experience to see how much those words meant to him.
I can say without a doubt Robert was right, Mr. Willman called me this past fall and put my mind at ease with some concerns I had for Roberts memorial and I am very grateful for his advice. I am writing this mostly to give his longtime friend a voice and a remembrance on the good times they shared, now there are two less good men in the world today.

Mr. Willman was an integral part of the glue that held our Boy Scout Troop (#229) together for many great years. Although my family and I moved away from WNY many years ago, I remember Bob, June and Jim very fondly. Jim was like a big brother to me in many ways -- Bob and June raised a fine son and had a fine family. My deepest consdolences on your loss.

I have taken care of your Dad in clinic for many yrs but it was more than taking care of a Patient. He was my friend as I grew to know him because of his daughter. He was a great man and you both were blessed to have him. He will always be with you both in your heart and he will live on in your memories. I will miss him He is now with our maker God Bless MaryBeth

A great man! He always treated me and my son, and Taco as his own family. He loved his family and they adored and admired him in return. I had tremendous amount of respect for him. I have lost a family member.

Dad I still can't believe you are gone I dreaded this day since I was alittle girl. I use to go to bed worring about it & praying that I would always have you. You have instilled so many values into jimmy, I & your grandchildren. You have made us all the people we are today & that is one of life's greatest gifts. We are so proud of you Dad. You always put your family first never selfish. We will continue to live with your values & make you proud. I can't wait to see you again hug you kiss you & tell you we followed in yor footsteps. I have faith that you will be looking down on all of us & helping us through this life. I just hope that I will always be the mother to my children as you were the father to jimmy & I. I love you daddy
