Mr. Willie James "Strong Bo" Etheridge

so sorry to hear about Willie, i met Willie in 1990 at Playskool Baby. i knew the first time i met him, what a great person he was! At 26 and learning this new company, as the warehouse mgr, I knew I could trust Willie. How he loved those homemade meals, his wife made him every day. He loved those Falcons, and Braves! Nobody was stronger than big Willie in his prime! and i knew him in his 50s,!!! strong man with a heart bigger than most! wow, im blown away by this news. when the company shut down we lost contact, but i did reach out approx 10 years ago and talked on the phone. same ole Willie, like we never missed a day! Heaven is such a better place the second Willie arrived,. im sure my friend was in pain as his days were coming too the end, but i bet this man didnt show it! it wasnt his way! to his family, im sure you have heard this alot, but let me add to the list. Nothing was more important to Willie then his family! Rest In Peace "BIG MAN", one day we will laugh again! your friend Ernie.

Dad, I am thankful that you are no longer suffering but you will be missed tremendously. Felicia
