Wym Willow O'Hanlon

We were saddened to hear of Wym's passing. With Wym's legacy of nearly 3 decades camping on site #50 at Lamb's Resort, the site won't be the same with out his late summer entourage of stargazers, food lovers and Temperance River swimmers. We will never forget his shipments of supplies prior to his arrival in the vintage Montecarlo, a vehicle which served him well for nearly two of the three decades. Our customers and employees were a part of Wym's generous spirit with late night meals...

Countless memories of times with Wym- stargazing, roof sitting, cooking, cruising in the choo us school bus, going to concerts and rock festivals, camping at Temperence River, jamming, trekking through Europe, chatting about science and classic movies, playing darts, watching football ... He was one in a million. I raise a glass of Irish Mist in your honor old friend. I will never forget you.

I will always think of wym when i look up at the nite sky. star mclean

I didn't know Wym but after hearing all the stories about him from my friend Star, I sure wish I had. What wonderful memories you all have of him. They make me realize how much I've missed out. RIP Wym Willow. (such a beautiful name!)

Once
We were laughing, there was that instant we forgot ourselves.
Delirious in that moment,every smile belonged to us,our careless footfalls
scorned the river's edge, we plunged into its cold embrace. There was nothing and everything between us.
We danced,tangled hair among
silvering leaves as the earth caught fire with day's last passion,
when we were young.

My wife and I have known Wym for the last few years here in Schroeder. He is a part of history here. He and his name and what he did and all that he was will not be forgotten, he has now become a part of history on the North Shore. His kindness and freindship will live in our memories.........

Wym was a Virgo like I and we had "Virgo Parties", and he introduced me to the North Shore, Gooseberry Falls and Temperance River. We went to the Steven's Point outdoor festival in 1970 in the "choo us" school bus. He shared his trail mix nuts and dried fruits willingly, and the dried bananas were a treat. I know the times at 27th and Grand as well, and earlier. I am sad to hear he is gone and I too hope if we can meet again in the universe we will.

I knew Wym in the late 70's when I lived on 27th and Grand in Minneapolis. I have great memories of all the crazy times with Wym,Dave,Tim One,Tim Two,Wes, Paco,Toni, Patti,Jean,Tracy,Kenny and Mary Lou to name a few. No energy is lost, only takes a different form. We all might meet again in our next adventure!
