May God bless you all in this time of sorrow. Willis will be greatly missed.

I did not know Willis, I work with and have become friends with his son-in-law Jim Friend. Jim has told me some stories about him and he sounds like the kind of man you would be glad to know, and the kind of person who thought of others before himself. The world needs more people like Willis. I am sorry to the family for their loss.

Rothmeyer family, we are so sorry for the passing of Willis, but now he and Greta are together again no pain dancing, enjoying each other like they did throughout the years. The love they have for each other is truly amazing. You talk about patience in the obituary that’s so true. Willis had patience of a saint!! I loved coming to the house to clean. It always made them so happy and Willis and I would share the news of the whole month and then I’d say I better get to work and you better get...

Dear Roethemeyer Family, I am sending love and prayers to all of you at this very sad and difficult time. You have many wonderful memories to help carry you through plus your strong Christian faith. With my deepest sympathy, Kathy Votaw Dubs

What a man my Uncle Willy is!! He put me on a horse as a young girl and I wasn’t afraid because he had the calmest affect of any man on earth. I saw him on his knees beside his bed regularly when I’d stay with the family in the summers. I would have never known the importance of livestock and land. My fondest memories were on the farm with my girl cousins. I was blessed to be able to tell him how fortunate I felt.
Good man. Good life. Need more like him.
Love you.

It was such an honor to have known Greta and Willis.
