Hi Dianne,
My thoughts and prayers are with you now. I'm sorry. I heard the rumor but did not want to believe and still don't want to believe Willie is gone. He and I shared some wonderful times but lost touch in recent years. He was my first "true" love and I will miss him dearly. His sarcastic remarks on any subject will be with me always. Willie was the only person my dad ever allowed to call him "Pops". Those were the good old days. Take care Dianne and find comfort in the knowledge that your son was loved by many.

Our condolences to the Bell - Family.
My granddaughter Aja & I only knew
Willie for about 2 yrs. but he sure
has left an impression on our lives.
Not only was he a very good neighbor, he was also a very caring person !
He loved his little dog " Baby " and
she loved him. Willie sure will be missed by everyone that knew him !
