WILLARD LEE TREDWAY Jr.

My heart is broken. Willy was was my best friend and husband for ten years. He was charming, witty, driven, gentle, loving, intelligent, sometimes difficult, always wonderful and I loved him dearly. I always will.

Willard and I were roommates during our senior year and we had many good times together. We were able to see each other after A&M when he was here on the east coast for a while. There will always be a spot in my heart for Willard.

Willard - I miss you. I miss those days in law school of seeing my new friends and hanging out with them but I don’t miss class or studying. You were the most intelligent, wise and elegant man of the group. Passing the bar or being number one in rank is not being intelligent. Intelligent is being brilliant and excelling in life which you did. It is being a good human being and acting compassionately, honestly, and treating everyone with respect and courtesy. You have always did that and...

I am so sad to hear that Willard died. What an wonderful man. I hope that he didn't have to suffer too much as that barbaric disease took control of his body. I had a short but wonderful call with him a few months ago, and I know is was so hard for him to talk but I just loved hearing his voice. I loved every minute of his tenure at Interspace and the wonderful Tuesday Night Supper Club. One of my all time favotire human beings. Hether Smith (Philadelphia)

Willie Tredway was a great classmate, a good friend and a lot of fun. No one was funnier. The world lost a real interesting fella!

Willard was a great friend and a great Aggie. He was truly "one of a kind". I always told my non-Aggie friends that he was a "classical" Aggie becuase of his varied interests and love of classical music. He taught me how to ride a motorcyle and rode with me when I bought one. The world will miss his gentle soul and kind heart. Words cannot express my sorrow at the loss of such a friend. He was loved by many and will be sorely missed.

Just heard about Willard's passing. What a great friend and great Aggie. The world is now missing a man with a lot of heart and soul. I always told my friends that Willard was a "classical" Aggie because of his varied interests and appreciation of classical music. He was loved by so many and will be greatly missed.
