Such really sad news, I've know Willie since the 60's, I remember when he came back home from the Military and playing pool down on the Low End up in Stoneville. Willie could always make us laugh, he was a real kind hearted and good spirited friend, my condolences to the family, he will surely be missed...
Mr.Willie was my neighbor and we enjoyed talking in the yard and on the phone. He was a gentle soul and I am sure he will continue to check on Jayce and Daisy. He will be missed.
