I am so sorry to hear of Willy´s passing. He was always a joy when we worked together at Kroger in Bloomington. It sure was a sad day when he had to move away. God bless you all and RIP Willy.

Willy was a sweet soul. I used to take him home on the RBT bus from time to time. He was alway happy and enjoyed the ride. He will be missed. RIP WILLY!
