Benjamin J. Willis Jr.

I had the privilege of working with Ben Jr for some 13 years at Willis Wayside, along side family members Alice Denny, Susan Denny, Grayson Willis, John Willis and Ben 111, as well as countess other talented men and women Ben assembled in that company.
I owe my entire furniture career to Ben Jr as he taught me just about everything I know about the industry and I apply those skill sets just about every day.
My very fondest memories will always be there in that wonderful white painted store in Thalia and working with and for the nicest, most humble furniture family of all.
Ben Jr, thank you for everything you did for me and so many other furniture folks, I will never forget you.
Rest in peace.
