My husband, Rob (Robbie) went to school with Willie. He's told me that some of his best memories from high school have Willie in them. I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm sorry I never met him but through the service today and my husband's memories I can tell he was a very good man who loved deep. I am praying for you and your family. I pray for God's comforting arms around you, for Him to provide you with refuge and strength as each day goes on. Lifting you in prayer.

The Final Salute
“Brothers in Arms”, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged “Hand Salutes” as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another.
This “Hand Salute” is the last that we shall render to William Baxter (Willie) Peters our “Brother-in-Arms”. To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for Willie. And to Willie it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the devoted and selfless service he rendered to his country while serving in the U.S. Navy. Willie, we commend you for your honorable service. You are a true patriot, who served with honor and distinction. You upheld the finest qualities of an American patriot warrior: courage, commitment, generosity, sacrifice, love and devotion to family and country. You were a true friend. We bid you a sad farewell. You will be dearly missed from among our ranks. Be at Ease. Rest in Peace.
On behalf of the 1,261 military veteran Legionnaires of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion and the 233 veterans of VFW Post 2238 in Shreveport, Louisiana, we extend our sympathies and our condolences to Willie's family and loved ones.

Where do I begin ... I retired from Tango Transport in 2008 but never forgot Willie Peters. Willie had this special way of making it seem like you mattered, like you were of value. Anytime I wanted to talk, whether it be business or personal, he was interested and gave of his time so freely. Of course he will be missed tremendously; words cannot heal the pain of losing him but cherish the fact that he was loved by many! Count me as one of his greatest 'cheerleaders' and know I will continue to keep his family in my prayers. Ms. El
