I always had tremendous respect for Willie. Willie earned respect by the example he set in his life. He and I had numerous friendly talks when we would meet at model flying events. I learned of his pride in the accomplishments of his children and how he overcame some of the setbacks he encountered in life. Quite simply, he tried to do the right thing in his life and, in my view, succeeded at it.
He was also a great club member, always contributing to RCCD by helping out wherever he could. He was ever ready to help others, especially the newer members just learning to fly. His loyalty to the club would be hard to duplicate.
So long Willie, we love ya.

Willie was a great friend, fellow hobbyist and a wealth of knowledge ... most importantly, a true gentleman to all who knew him. My sincerest condolences to his wife, family and friends. You will be sorely missed, but always remembered for your kindness and sincerity.

I only knew Willie for a short time but all my memories of him are positive. He was encouraging and patient and gave so much to the club. He will be missed. May his wife and family take solace knowing he was an influence on so many people, both fliers and everyone else.
