We are so sorry for your loss. We will always have such fond memories of Willie. He was such a good neighbor to our widowed mother always doing things for her around the house and yard. He always remembered to bring her some of his "famous" stew each year and she really appreciated his thoughtfulness. He'll be deeply missed. Sincerely, Pat Higgins & Judy Kemp

We are so sorry for your loss. When you and Willie became members of Summersett Baptist Church , it was such an asset to our congregation. You both were so faithful to your church. You could always look up front on the second pew and there sat Willie and Carolyn. He was such a friendly and nice person.
He will surely be missed.
