Not sure what to say?

So sorry to learn of this loss. My condolences and sympathies to all the family and friends.

Willis was so kind. "Joy" could have been his middle name. If you were at church and didn't feel the Spirit of God, all you had to do was look into Willis's kind eyes and see his sweet smile. It was like a window into his heart and soul where God was present all the time. He will be missed. My prayers of peace and comfort are with you. Stacey Stevens

I remember Willis when I worked with the Postal Service and spent some time working alongside of him. It was indeed a pleasure to be around him. Being in my 90's I will always remember his name.

1st my condolences to Miss Eula and the family. Our prayers will be with you all. What great memories I have with Willis. I met Willis through our membership at the Harrodsburg Rotary Club. Willis was always so positive and happy with life. He was the most optimistic person with our UK football predictions every year at Rotary! I always loved to be on the same shift with him flipping pancakes on Pancake Day as Willis made it fun. Going to Reds games and talking all the way! Thanks...

Knew Willis from his years with the Postal Service. A great guy and an outstanding employee who always had a smile on his face. Condolences to the family.

Such a kind wonderful man! His smile lit up a room. He loved his wife and family. He always talked about Eula's corn pudding; so much that we had her bring us some! He was right, it was Delicious! It was honor to know Willis. He will be missed; but I know God called another Angel home; and Willis has gained his wings. Til we met again friend!

I dont think I ever saw Willis that he didn't have a smile on his face. His favorite saying was "I love my job. It made everyone happy at work.

Willis was my favorite resident I loved him and he loved me he always would yell "there he is" when I would walk past or see him and then I would yell "WILLISSSSS" I´m gonna miss him so much i will never forget him he was more than a resident to me.....I miss you Willis,praying for the family
