Just found out today...I am so sad. They don't make em like Willie anymore. I loved, respected, and admired him as the true Horseman he was. I am truly lucky to have had him in my life for awhile and will Never forget what he gave me (in ORION)...Not a day has went by that I did not think of Willie (and Minnie) and wonder how they were. I hope to see Willie again someday; where we will be on our wonderful horses in God's Arena!

We are sorry to miss the memorial for Willie. We were gone to Idaho and didn't see the notice in time. We enjoyed being your neighbors for several years. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you. Gene and Darl Rector

This wonderful man reached so many lives, without even knowing it. About 30 yrs ago Larry and I bought a special first horse for our daughter Carrie. That great first horse had been trained by Willie. We didn't get to meet Willie until we moved to Klamath Falls in 1988, through my friend Tonya. Willie and Minnie open their hearts and let me ride in their indoor area in the winter months to keep my sanity. Willie always knew you in a crowd and always greeted you with a smile. Over the years he rode colts for us and did a great job, what a horseman he was. He will be dearly missed!
