Willie...

Through the years, you were one of the greatest people I ever knew. Your sense of humor was one in the same with mine. Few people ever understood me the way you did, Triple W. Few people have ever forgiven me as much as you, as well. I'll never forget all the fun we had as roommates, co-workers, and best friends as we hit the streets and tore up the '90's and beyond. I learned a lot from you about life and about how to take it in stride. You taught me how to think things through. I still use those principles to this day. I always found you encouraging and inspiring. The world has lost an extraordinary person. Thanks for all you ever did for me, Willie. You'll be missed more than you'll ever know. You were one of the good guys, never to be forgotten.

Rest in peace, my friend.

Dear Judy and Family,
The loss of a child is a difficult experience to work through. It is a case of death in the wrong order. Most of us expect to die before our children--even if we'd rather not think about death at all.
Our prayers and thoughts are with you at this sad time.

William W Wallerman, or WILLIE and sometimes triple w

To my partner in crime of our up north actions, you will be truly, truly missed by all who have had the glory of spending time with you. As I sit here and reflect back on all the trips and times spent together up north at Big G's cabin it brings tears to my eyes knowing that they are just fading memories of times passed.

From the fun times we had trout fishing and all the times playing cards and drinking into the wee hours of the morning. Your laughing, cursing, and time spent together will always be carried with me in my heart and soul until i pass.

Willie you were a legend to me, as a mentor sometime, a friend always, and a person to which i spent more time with during periods of my life than any one. I'm truly truly sadden but the news of your passing.

I am so saddened by this. I didn't know Willie, but being afflicted with Alzheimer's at such a young age is so unthinkable. My mother who is 77 has Alzheimer's. My thoughts & prayers are with all of you. God bless.
