We are only now learning of Willis's passing. Too late to share a moment with his family though please know that we will always remember him as a true gentle man and gentleman. He always had a smile and a kind word for anyone who took the time to say hello. He has had a special place in our hearts ever since our early days in Norris Point.

To all Willis children and grandchildren although we are not home to visit with you all at this sad time you are all in our thoughts and prayers. You were certainly all so precious to Willis and the apples of his eyes and he would always glow as he spoke of you . He always had that big smile and no matter what or how much he was hurting he would always say he felt number one. What a blessing to have such strength. We enjoyed many nice chats with him. He will surely be missed. Take care and...
