I was saddened to learn of Willie's passing. A great employee at VFB, but more than that, a true gentleman! Always enjoyed talking to Willie. He was a hard worker and very conscientious. Always concerned about those around him and always willing to help or offer advice. My deepest sympathies to all of his family. He was the best.....Ed

Mrs. Andrews and Family, I am so deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Deacon Andrews. He was one of the first members I was blessed to meet when I joined Rising Mt. Zion. "Willie" worked with my Dad at Westvaco for many years and he would always ask how is Tommy doing. I will miss his smile and his gentle spirit. In the days to come, I pray that your hearts will find peace and comfort in the memories you shared with him.

I am saddened to learn of Willie´s passing. We go back to 1973, when I joined Westvaco´s Virginia Folding Box Division. I have nothing but fond memories of Willie, he was a great pressman and subsequently one of our valued supervisors. He was a kind man with an abundance of integrity. My heart felt sympathy goes out to his wife and children, you will be in my prayers during this time of loss.
