Barbara and I extend our condolences over Mr.Willauer's passing. I will always remember spending time boating on the Chesapeake in 1976 and going with Mr.Willauer and Dave to see Lehigh University wrestling matches in 1977. I also remember accompanying the Willauers' to see Billy Graham in Phildelphia in 1992. Many memories over the years...the Super Bowl parties, the dinners and the friendship. We will miss him. God Bless his family. Ed and Barbara Slentz
