Willie, it's hard to believe it's been 6 years since you went on to glory. Someone told me that as long as you remember someone, they are never truly gone. I'll always remember you with fondness!

My deepest sympathy on the loss of such a sweet and kind man. Nothing was ever too much trouble for Willie; he was generous with his smile, laughter and hard work. He made many of my days at USDA/NFC easier and joyful. May he Rest In Peace.
