Condolences to Willie's family on his passing to his new celestial home. I will always have fond memories of Willie and still miss seeing Willie and his father working early in the mornings at the bakery they had on McCullough. I remember the crazy Halloween costumes we used to wear and the great laughs we had. We did have our cake and eat it too. May he be surrounded by loved ones and may his family be surrounded by peace at this difficult time.
