We first met Willie when he and Mark joined us on an Onondaga Ski Club ski trip to the Rockies back in the late 1970s. He was charming, friendly, and very likable. Over the years we saw Willy and Ginny at Toggenburg ski area. He was not only a great person, but an accomplished skier. We will miss his smile. He is a loss to many.

Prayers for Willy, very smart man and good family neighbor. He taught me, He who skies fast, Ends up with leg in cast. He loved to ski and he said this to me when I saw him in a cast.

Sorry for your loss, Mark and family.

May u RIP with your wife. I know your family will miss you. I´m send prayers to your family that they will be taken care of till you can all meet again. RIP.

I remember Willy from years ago at the Arion Club Picnics and other German Festivals. Rest in Peace and enjoy a nice bier.

Opa was a truly lovely person. We enjoyed seeing him and Oma at the marina. We loved his stories his wit and most certainly his charm. He was always up to having a beer and sometimes shot of Jager. It was truly an honor to have been a small part of his and Ginny's world.

Good old friend from the Arion Stein Club! Paul and pat Altenburg
