Not sure what to say?

Lynda sorry to hear about Willis I enjoyed working with him during the many years at PT I wish you all the best Charlie Potter

Lynda & family, I was so sad to see your post that Willis was taken so suddenly. He was a gentle sole with an easy smile a good part of the time. I'll never forget hearing you call out "Sweetheart where are you?" in their family home after the wedding & was amazed you two even spoke to each other in school that I saw nevermind get married so quickly! I'm so happy you both were blessed with alll your years of marriage & always sounding happy & content. It was good to see you two at our...

We had some great laughs, food and times. Thank you for the memories my friend.
Your friends John & Gillian Trapp

Linda, I just learned of Willis’ passing. You may not remember me, but I worked with you both on some insurance/financial issues. I was lucky to have earned your trust, and at one meeting you had me stay for dinner! Willis made a fantastic venison dish. I will always remember that and our conversation about your camp site. I am very sorry for your loss. Be well.

Dori and I extend our deepest sympathy to you and your family. Having taught you and Willis in high school was such a pleasure. Both of you were grate students. Willis had such a great personality and was so successful as he worked at Perma Treat for so many years. The good Lord called him to heaven so he could share his wit and unique personality. Be thankful for the wonderful life you had together. We will remember him in our prayers.
