WILLARD L. LING

Easter is coming soon and I am thinking of you and Mom at this time. Just want to say it again, I love you.

I work with Leslee and have heard a lot about your dad. Many mornings Leslee would give me an update on her visit with her dad the night before. We talked about him so much that it was almost like I knew him. He sounded like an awesome person. My heart and prayers go out to your family and their tremendous loss.

I am going to miss our chats, yelling at the Indians, discussing the latest t.v. shows, war stories that gave me goosebumps....I feel honored to have been able to share those with you.

A long time co-worker, lunchtime card partner and fellow Cleveland Force fan. Willy was a wonderful man and it saddens me that he is gone, but I know that he is now reunited with his beloved Jo.

One of the greatest men I've ever known. I am blessed and honored to have had you be such a big part of so much of my life. Love you, Papa.

The Indians games on TV, the dinners, the conversations that covered just everything..awww Dad, I'll miss them until we meet again. But you know my heart now through and through and I know you're ok. Say hi to Mom for me, and tell her we're going to be ok. I know how she worries. Love you, Les

You were a great father-in-law, Will. I cherish the memories.
