My "Summer Daddy" will be missed dearly from my family. Camping and Fishing will not be the same with out his laughs and smiling face. Willie and Wanda were a great example of how you can Work, Play, and Serve Jehovah TOGETHER. Until we see him again in the Paradise may we continue to serve Jehovah like he did.

I have fond memories of Willie too. He always smiled and had something encouraging to say. I enjoyed working with him in service and all the laughter we shared going from door to door. I will especially miss how he always called me Teresa Christian instead of Mills. What a loving brother. I will miss all of his wonderful comments at the meetings. He will be truly missed by so many.

Clyde has many fond memories with Willie on bus trips to Bethel. When Clyde and I married, Willie welcomed me into his "family" and our daughter will always remember the "Willie Wave" during the meeting. He will be truly missed by us.

Dear Jewel and Family, I'm very sorry to hear about the passing of your beloved one. Jewel had plenty stories about her daddy and they were all good and always put a smile of my face upon hearing them. He'll always be with you in your heart (where it really counts). Again, you have my deepest sympathies.
