Ev and Arlene, I know I only knew "Dad" for a couple of years, but he was "Special". In my heart, I wanted to tell him a while ago that he didn`t have to worry about you Ev, that I would be there for you. But I think, in his own mind, he sensed that. He is at peace now, but you`ve got plenty of memories to think about.... Love You Both, Bill

Arlene & Evie & family,
Please know that we are so sorry for your loss of your dear father Willard.
He was a sweet loving man who always had a smile to share with you. I had the privilege of seeing Willard a short time before he passed and I saw the contentment in his eyes, and the sense of peace in his heart knowing his family was there for him at a time of need. Please accept our deepest regrets.........John & Diane Salter
