My deepest condolences to the Taylor Family. I'm so sorry for the loss of Willie Howard!

Most of the time Willie´s face would be the first one I would see every morning when I would get to work at Coburn. I would always yell, "Hey Willie," and he would always reply "Hey Mr. Lenz." That´s how I would get my day started every morning. Seeing Willie´s smiling face. He was like a proud new dad when he got his new Camero. He loved that thing. I am sorry to hear he is gone. He was one of a kind to be sure.

Mr. Willie was such a wonderful soul. Loved his smiling face roaming the halls of Coburn Elementary School. Condolences to his family and friends. He was a great person to work with!
