He genuinely loved interacting with people and often spoke of how much he enjoyed the variety of individuals -including many famous people- he met through his work. ...  see more

    Willie was a great conversationalist and a kind spirit who connected with everyone over something. He had an excitement for sports and racing like no other. He'd often talk about his son's musical abilities, his retirement plans for he and his wife, drag...  more

    Willie was the most delightful man. He got to know every Board employee on a first-name basis, greeted us warmly, and was a great conversationalist. My deepest sympathies to his family. This is a huge loss for them and for the Board.

    Willie genuinely cared about our safety. One night I was returning to the Eccles building late after attending a Board sponsored evening event. When Willie picked me up at I Square and found out I needed to get back to Eccles, he went out of his way to...  more

    Willie shared in one of my happiest experiences and made it even better. When I got word that my granddaughters were born a few years ago, I left work early to see the new family in the hospital. Willy was driving. As he took me to the metro I had to...  more

    Our heartfelt condolences on the loss of a dear man. We at the FRB Federal Credit Union will miss his smile, his jaunty cap, and conversations about football and cars. Heaven has gained a new angel who is already zooming around the other angels,...  more

    Willie, I just saw you a few weeks ago, hard to believe that you are gone. You were like a ray of sunshine on an otherwise dreary day. I enjoyed our many talks over the years, riding the shuttle will not be the same. My deepest condolences to your family.
