Teenie and Gary, I just heard of Willie's passing. Ponda and I have been out of town for two weeks and had no idea. Willie was a very special man to me. He took care of me and mentored me for many years at the store. I loved him dearly! May God bless!

Teenie and all the Veals,
Just know that Willie is in a better place and no more pain and discomfort. I'm sure it is hard right now to comprehend, but as time goes by, it will get better. Prayers for all of you!

I am sorry to read of Mr. Veal's passing. I use to shop at Charlie Wood's with my father, Charles Perry (1932-2004) regularly when I was a child. Mr. Veal was always the nicest man, always greating us with a warm smile and making sure we got everything we needed at the store.
Your family will be in my prayers.
