Donald L. Willingham

I had the pleasure of cutting Don's hair for a few years and always enjoyed our conversation and the stories he would tell. He had a contagious smile and i always looked forward to seeing him. He spoke of his family often and them grandbabies made him proud. I hope the family takes comfort in the lives Don touched because he was a good man.My sympathies go out to the family.

Please accept my deepest sympathies. I served with Don as a Little Bear in 66/67.

Sergeant Willingham will always remain in the hearts of his "Band of Brothers" of the Little Bears of the 25th Aviation Company. He and those of us who served with him did our duty for our country as we saw it.

My name is Ercie Leach, Colonel, U.S. Army(Ret), former Little Bear. I knew Sergeant Willingham as a Good Guy. May God be with the family during this time of sorrow.

Dear Hanna and Family,
Don was a good friend and faithful neighbor for many years. We remember him fondly. God bless you all through the coming days.

In rememberance of a fellow "Li'l Bear" from "Li'l Bear 6, 1967"

Hannelore and family,
we've got the sad message that Donald died.

The only important in life
are the traces of love,
we leave
if we leave.

Our warmest condolences to the family.

Anja and family.

Donald was part fo the Little Bear family. His military service in Vietnam was marked with his ability to get the job done even under the most trying of circumstance. He will be remembered as a friend to many; his spirit, his kindness, and demeanor made him easy to like. You can be proud forever of Donald.

From the Little Bear Association, our deepest sympathy.

Hannelore and family,
we've got the sad message that Donald died.

The only important in life
are the traces of love,
we leave
if we leave.

Our warmest condolences to the family.
