I am so sorry for the loss of Willie. My husband and I worked with him at Warner & Swasey back in the late 70's/early 80's. My favorite memory is the time we went camping with Willie, Lou and their granddaughter Laurie in 1980 at Lake Dennison. Our daughter had so much fun with Laurie. I have several pictures from that trip. They will both be missed. Our sympathies to your family.
