So sorry to hear about Willard. I always liked him as he was nice to my wife and I while we lived in Yale. I am, like you, waiting for the Masters arrival. What a great and wonderful day that will be!!!

I remember Mr. Vejnar from over 25 years ago when I was dealing with him on concrete products. What a wonderful man who was full of the love of God and his love for his fellow man. My prayers are with the family but we all know that Mr. Vejnar is now singing with the hevenly choir prasing his Lord.

Dear Aunt Ethel and family oh the wonderful memories of spending time with your family. The kindness you showed our family and the way you always made me and my sister feel like part of your family. I love you and wish that I could be with you at this time. Uncle Willard touched so many lives and I look forward to seeing him in heaven with that smile and always twinkle in his eye. Teaching me to play accordion and the organ.
