To the members of Willie's family. We are so sorry for your loss. I visited Willie in May as I always did when I returned to the Albany area. I met Willie in 47' during my first year as the hired man at Tom Auer's farm. We became instant friends.You should have seen the smile on Willies face when I came home from Korea with a brand new Harley. Even his Father George took it for a ride. I will miss him greatly.
