Susan, Willard Jr., and Family,
Willard Dean was loved, respected, and admired by all who were fortunate enough to know him and especially our family. He was family to Adrian and a shining example of how a gentleman conducted himself. Both of us were very fond of Willard and Evon and when asked if we knew them or were kin to Willard Dean of Colfax, we proudly answered 'Absolutely.' His legacy will continue for he was a wonderful man, neighbor, and cousin. May God be with you and bless your family.

How blessed I was to have Evon and Willard as neighbors to my business there on W. Market St; to serve on the Foundation Board of GTCC with Evon; to sit and visit in their home; to be the recipient of those amazing pecan pies at Christmas... Their legacy is far reaching and the measure of their many contributions to the lives of others is countless and will live on. Truly beautiful people in God's Garden and now in a place where the flowers never fade! Thanking God for them.
