A Life Well Lived! RIP, via con Dios!

Sad to read about Willard. Many fond memories of him out and about in the neighborhood. Peace to all.

Sorry to hear that Willard left us. I remember when your family moved into the neighborhood way back when. Your dad was very nice to all the neighborhood kids. He was quite interesting. Hugs to all of you.

Will was one of my favorite people since our days together on the Minnesota Daily staff. I remember his humor, his love of jazz and his sports enthusiasm. Best of all, his loving kindness to me that returned in some brief reunions in the past few years.
