Condolences & Tributes
Add A CondolenceI remember Mr. Wille as a kind man. One of my favorite memories was when I was a child. Mr. Wille worked at First United Methodist Church and I was frequently there after school. I always got a coke out of the coke machine. Sometimes the machine would take my dime and without returning a coke. When that happened, Mr. Willie was always so kind to open up the coke machine and give me a coke. Additionally, I am grateful for the friendship he shared with my Dad and for the time he invested with Dad in his last years. Mr. Wille shared beautiful words about Dad and their relationship at Dad's funeral for which I will always be grateful. I'm looking forward to seeing Mr. Willie again in heaven and trust he and Dad have already had a joyful reunion! - Jeff Hale
