Willie was my uncle by his second wife Shirley House. He was a wonderful husband and friend to each and everyone in this family. He was always the same and became a true friend to me as well as many others that knew him. Although we only had phone conversations over the last year he was still the kind and loving person I had know for the past twenty odd years. He will be missed by each and everyone of us and his family will remain in my thoughts and prayers. Linda Davis Rose

Will never forget you…my favorite thing about my Uncle Willie was everytime I saw him we’d hug and he’d pick me up right off my feet squeezing me. Didn’t see him as often as I would have liked, but he has always been in my heart and will forever remain there. I will miss his bright & clear blue eyes and the happiness and laughter he brought to us. He was one of a kind, and I love him very much. Cheryl House Langley
