Dear Sharon and children,
Our prayers are with you and your family. We will always remember Willard as a man with sense of humor and dedication he had with involvement of church and scouting. My sons will be forever greatful of times your husband and father spent in scouting events being not only a teacher to them but in most cases like a second father. He will be greatly missed....
