    Willie, will be greatly missed,he was a part of my life as long as I can remember. The times we grew up in were different, as all the family gathered on weekends and holidays …to eat dinner,visit and play cards, I had aunts, uncles and all the cousins there…. we played outside games like kick the can and annie over and king on the mountain…….we were poor but we didn’t know it….there was lots to do and always some kind of food for dinner….and we were blessed with plenty of cousins …and lots of love…we just liked being together and spending time with family……RIP cousin, I love you….and you will be gone but not forgotten

    Willie was a one of a kind of guy. Loved his family very much and always had something to laugh about on the hardest days.
