Not sure what to say?

You are a member of the greatest generation. Thank you for your service coach. You're the reason why America is a great country. Men like you are a national treasure. I'll always think of you sir.

What an unforgettable man. Many happy memories of Coach both at Jeff and working with Cindy, Lexie and Bill at the pool. He is fondly remembered and missed.

Cindy and Lexi, Sorry to hear of your loss. Prayerfully he is with his loved ones with Christ. My Dad is deceased but my mom is doing just fine. She winters in Winter Haven, Florida. I do not know where Lutz, Fla is however.. Best to all and may you have a Blessed life.

Coach Willey was such an inspiration to my generation as,evidently, every generation he taught. I admired the way he
lived his life and the way he treated our "Jeff" wrestling and football teams of "56", "57", and "58". We learned by practicing and by playing the games in addition to just having his words of encouragement as we tried our best to be our best. Everyone who ever knew Coach is surely a better person because if his influence.
May he rest in peace.

Coach Willey was a great influence in my life. He was a great wrestling coach and "boss" at the park pool. I will never forget those years

Sorry Lexie and family for your loss. So many memories of a nice,quiet,friendy man.

Lexie, So sorry for your loss. Your dad gave this band jock a chance at wrestling. The experience was an important part of my high school memories.

Lexie blessings to you and your family. We had such a great time at Jeff and your Dad played a great part in all our lives. He will be missed

Lexie blessings to you and family. We had such great times at Jeff and your Dad was a very big part of it.
