William Willis Sr.

The Harrison brothers are deeply saddened to learn of Bill's passing. He worked with our father, Charles L. Harrison on the Youth Commission and they became very close friends.
Bill was the kind of man you liked and admired the first time you met him. I still have an autographed picture of Bill as a Cleveland Brown which I will continue to cherish. Hope all is well with the rest of the Willis family. Best Regards, Thomas Harrison

Claude- so sorry for your loss!

Bill Jr, we were so sorry to hear that your father passed away. I remember in 1966 at Lincoln University you told us your father was a pro football player. We went to the library on campus and found a book on all-american athletes. To our surprise, there was a picture of your father. It was amazing, you looked exactly like him. May Jehovah God comfort you and your family at this time.

To the Willis Family:
Brother Willis was a pioneer and a legend. Being a member of Kappa Alpha Psi we were also able to share a common bond while working at the Department of Youth Services. God has another defensive servant on his team!!!

Dear Willis Family,

My deepest sympathy on the passing of William Sr. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers

I remember as a kid my Grandmother (Mildred Gilbert), Aunt Barbara, Uncle O.K and my uncle Chico use to tell us stories about Uncle bill. Uncle Bill, Aunt Odessa, Aunt Dorothy and Aunt Georga use to sit us kids down and tell us stories too. Oh, how I value those days.
It's a whole new world now, we must keep all of their spirit alive through us.
Hold your heads up high family, GOD is still in control!!!
Love ya

My thoughts and prayers are with all your family and friends. Rest in Peace.

To Bill, Linda, Trey, Imani, Clem and, the entire Willis Family. May the peace of God which surpases all understanding be with you at this time of your great loss; May God reveal Himself as a Comforter to you as you go through the process of grieving. My prayers are with you all.

Willis Family,

It was a pleasure to meet Bill Willis, Sr. as it is indeed an honor to be a friend of your family.

Always,

Joe Banks
