I wanted to say that WIllie was such a wonderful man. Anyone who knew Willie was blessed to have known such a kind,loving and out spoken man. He was not my real dad but he was a "dad" to me and I will love him forever. I know Willie is watching over us and sitting in heaven with my baby girl Gracie.. "Grandpa, take good care of Gracie until I can get there". Conor has so many fond memories of riding the gator with his Grandpa Willie.. we all love you and miss you more. I wish so many things, but the one thing I wish the most is that I would have had more time with you. I love you Willie..all of my love to Kathy, Duke and Tina too.. they are the best family a woman could ever have. I love you all.
