The Family of Dave Wills: As the former Superintendent of Environmental Services in Rocky Mount, NC, I was truly saddened to learn of Dave's passing. Not only was he a very knowledgeable representative for the heavy equipment he helped us acquire, he was a friend. I looked forward to his visits, he had this chuckle of a laugh and a great big smile. We would sit and talk, much about his girls and his cars, his son and life in general. I will truly miss him! To Sam: I remember you accompanying your Dad on trips. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

To the Wills family. I was saddened to hear about Dave. I am the Purchasing Agent for Dare County and have done business with Dave for years. He would always come early to the Bids and we would talk about our families. I want you to know how much he loved his family. His daughters were his life. I will miss Dave. His was an honest man and a true gentleman.

To the Wills family. Dave was a kind, gentle, and pleasant man. He always had time to sit down and visit before he got down to business. He was very proud of his daughters. Dave will be missed at Dare County Public Works. May God bless you and comfort you during this difficult time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. David was a very likable person and we enjoyed having the priviledge of working with him in the past years. He had many friends at the Franklin County Landfill (Rocky Mount, VA).

His girls were literally the light of his life and I know they will be lost without him, just carry on girls and keep your memories of your Dad close to your heart, we all loved David. I miss him also and think about fond memories of him.

I am so sad to hear of David's passing. I remember him as a gentle person with caring eyes. I know you will miss him greatly. I believe he was in school with my brother, Frank, who has been ill himself. I know how much we love our little brothers. No matter how they tower over us, they are still our "little" brothers. I pray your fond memories and knowing he is present with the Lord will sustain you in the coming months and years. Love, Colleen Jennings Moore

My thoughts and prayers are with you always. I loved going to your house and talking to your dad he always treated me like a third daughter. I will miss him but I know he is in heaven smiling down on us at this moment. Stay strong with God and he will see you through. If you need anything at all I am just a phone call away.
Love you,

We are so sorry about David's unexpected passing and our heart go out to the family. I remember meeting Sam's Dad at church and he was such a nice person. Earth's loss is Heaven's gain, and I know he is walking with Jesus right now. May it help to remember that you will see David again one day, never again to be parted. May God give the family comfort and peace during this sad time.
