Not sure what to say?

I came to know Willi through the many auto deals he did with my father. Willi is significantly responsible for my passion of all things Audi and Porsche. But more important, Willi's manner and honesty reinforced a young Kevin Kershisnik's values. I think fondly of Willi often and am saddened to learn of his passing. Your family is blessed to have had such a good man at it's helm.

Godspeed,
Kevin

Brother Gerberding was an all-around awesome guy, as well as a good friend and neighbor. I always enjoyed his stories about his experiences in WWII, as well as all the other events he told me about his life. And the two German lessons that he gave me, although probably very painful for him to listen to my pronunciation as I read, are still a memory I treasure. Best wishes to him and to his family, and may his love for us all remain bright.

Our condolences to all his family. Many years ago he came into the drugstore and gave Dave a beautiful sand bottle he'd made and we still treasure it. Dave and Carol Weenig

We were sorry to hear of Willie's illness and passing. He was always so
friendly and kind to us. We felt his special spirit and happy personality in all our dealings with him. His beautiful sand bottle sits in our family room for everyone to admire. He gave us this treasure over 25 years ago and it is still very beautiful. Our condolences to you, his loving family.
