My heart is sadden at the news of Willo's death. He was my cuz, and my playmate when we were little kids. My brother Robert and I would spend alot of time with Willo and Nancy, playing and playing.
Willo loved the Beatles. He would tell us to call him "Paul."
You will be missed my dear cuz.
Condolences to my tia Fina and Ismael, and all his sisters and brother, and children.

I am an 0ld friend of Willie's. I first met him back in Jr. high school at Thomas Jefferson. Wilo and I used to hang out quite a bit during that time and remained friends all the way through high school. After graduation we lost touch but I would see him every now and then and he always seemed like the guy I had known before. He was a down to earth regular guy with a great sense of humor and a ready smile for anyone. I did know he played drums, but I had no idea he was in a band. (I play guitar) Today he is in the company of two of his heros, John and George. Maybe they are Jamming together with Willie banging out some of his favorite Beatle's tunes on a heavenly "kit". Willie will be missed by everyone who knew him. I was looking forward to seeing him at the up-comming reunion. My condolences to his family. It is hard to imagine a world without someone like Wilo in it.
