Willard Edwin Pretlow

During our childhood years in Bells Mill, Cousin Willard visited our home often.We always had a great time reminiscing, singing, and dancing. Willard was always entertaining and had a lot of personality. I regret not being in touch with him as we grew older. To Cousin Dee, Ronnie, and other family members, I am praying that the passing of time and the love of family and friends will bring you strength and surround you with comforting memories.

Uncle Willard has been a long time mentor and blessing to my life since the days of my teens unto adulthood. He would always be there when I needed him sharing tips on doing things better, living better, thinking better and applying biblical principles to everyday Life. He was filled with leadership advice and Life strategies that help me fulfill my spiritual purpose in Christ Jesus my Lord. It would have a testimony, we must first pass the test. So he would always challenge me to hear...

I haven’t seen my cousin, Willard, since childhood, but I remember how smart and engaging he was. My sincere condolences to his family. May his memory be your comfort during this difficult time.

Cousin Willard would visit us every summer in Bells Mill. He was always entertaining and fun to be around and had a contagious laugh. We shared many wonderful memories.
My prayers are with the family.

Our dear cousin Willard! It has been many many years since we have seen Willard! grandmother and our mothers were first cousins (Laura Eason and Alberta Wilson). All of his Bells Mill family was so proud of our pilot! He visited the Eason Family in Bells Mill whenever he was home on leave. Rest in peace cousin! Well Done! Much love from your Bell Mills cousins on your grandmother Alberta side. Jackie Eason Wilson, Rev. Edward “Peterman” Wilson, Rev. Dr. Sarah Eason Williams.

Willard was my brother-in-law through his wife Jennifer. However, more importantly, he is my brother in Christ Jesus. His personal and several professional accomplishments are quite commendable. Willard's care and devotion to his wife and family is extremely admirable. However, Willard's personal commitment to our Lord and Savior, Jesus is by far his greatest decision and achievement.

Now Willard Pretlow has reached life's last goal post that each of us will face one day. So...

Praying for great strength and comfort to my dear family. I love you so much.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your time of grief.

Sorry for your loss
