Wilfred Caron

Willie was a great mentor and friend. He herded me back onto the path of righteousness many times when I wanted to stray. He taught me both tolerance and conviction. He was pragmatic, compassionate, artistic, tough and hilarious, all bundled into one little energetic man. He was fun to debate with. He loved to teach yet loved learning even more. He was truly a great human being and is dearly missed. God bless you, Willie. Thanks

We all can be thankfull that we had Willie in our lives. His wonderfull sense of humor, and bright smile could fill any room. We all are better people for just knowing him. I couldn't imagin growing up without Willie and the tree farm. Willie, you will be deeply missed by all you touched.

Many, many warm and wonderful memories of Uncle Wille. He was full of life and blessed us all with his knowledge of trees and the environment. Has a young girl
I remember helping plant trees with him and the family. And I would be amazed at his keen eye in his artwork. With a smile and a twinkle in your eyes, Uncle Willie you have touched my life.

Good thing memories are forever because with the ones Willie has left us we will all be smiling for a long time. I am thankful to have been around him as much as i was. We can only wish to graise the edges of the things Willie acomplished in his life

Willy was a constant in my families life ever since I was a littel girl. My brothers and several other people helped Willy during the christmas tree season over the last 30 years. I have many childhood memories of his beautiful land and the long walks my family and i would take on his land. He was an amazing man gifted and talented and was like a grandfather to myself and my siblings. He was a mentor and very dear friend to my brother Steven who took care of him and his land and home in...

Willie was a great uncle to the Rippel family. He often celebrated with us at Alice and Charlie’s Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter banquets and always had interesting stories and gifts.

For many years, the older kids were hired by him as spring time tree planters around the Mystic area. He taught us how to work with and appreciate the woods.

We all loved his original outdoors style, energy and the sense of freedom with which he lived his life.

He’ll always be...
