Not sure what to say?

We are so sorry to learn of Willie's passing. Scott enjoyed working with Willie at AT&T. We enjoyed being with him while square dancing at the senior center. He was a wonderful man and a great friend. We will miss him.

I'm a bit late reading this news, but I want to add my bit here. After hearing his story, Willie was one of the people at SL Junction I admired most. When he did a job, it was done right. Willie always said what he meant and meant what he said. There have never been enough like him.

I'm sorry to hear of Willie's passing. I worked with Willie at AT&T for many years; he was a great co-worker, took on the tough jobs without complaining. We had some good times at work and play. Willie is the only golfer I know that, after a tee shot, watched as a cat ran out on the fairway and then ran off with his golf ball. I moved from SLC a few years ago, but kept in touch with Willie with phone calls and Christmas cards. Now I will raise a glass and "Prost" memories of happy times...

so long willie,

I miss our Golf games, Bowling, skiing, and the numerous deep talks we had concerning life, death the universe and everything else under the sun, you truly were a great co-worker but a wonderful friend, I will mess you greatly,

I was allowed to go out on the sailboat at Bear Lake. Willie wanted to see if a Navy Sailor could tack the boat. YEP. I tried to sink it. So much for my sailboat skills. To you Willie a toast.

"My the wind always be at your back and the waters always be wave-less". I will miss our talks and story time we have had. But I will always remember you and know that your life has touched mine forever.
