"Willis as I knew him was a good friend to many including me in high school. He was a part of the CLASS OF 70.
He is sorely missed.

I grew up with Bill in Ferrysburg. We were best friends, we hunted, fished and played sports together. Bill will be dearly missed.

Willis was a member of the Board of Directors of the MCBA some years ago. He was a leading voice for the industry during those days, and a great friend to me as a fellow board member. I will miss him greatly.
