Willie,
Am I going to miss you--from looking at all those "wet gray rocks" in the rain of Alaska in the early '80's to the many years of subsequent visits in Seattle. Your verve for life and those you love defined you. I am honored to have had a friend like you.
I love you,
- Kim

My mother, Ann Hamilton Steel, often spoke about Willis with great regard. I feel honored to be related to such a fine soul. His legacy will live on for all times. Carol Anderson

Awwww. Cousin Willis was a genuine hero to me. My wife Nancy and I just saw the obit this evening and communicated with my Dad (Don Anderson) who is living alone in the far north of Wisconsin. There is much that I want to tell you about my own experiences and memories of Willis, so please, when you get the chance, write back to me. David Anderson
