We are so sorry to lose Willie. He was like a godfather to me. He always had a twinkle in his eyes and a smile on his face. And was always willing to help with whatever you needed. I remember him taking us down to the auctions at Pikeville and letting us use his truck to bring home any treasures we found there. He was a joy to be around. And always energetic - farming until his late 80's. Willie was quite a guy. He and Dee had so many great times with my Mom. Now they can all hang out together again. We will surely miss him.
