SO extremely SORRY and sad to hear about Willy! I grew up in the youth group with Willy and he was a solid "good guy" For his dearly beloved survivors I will share my all-time favorite Bible Verse John 8:32 "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." Willy was a "good guy" and I will always remember him as such!

Willie was always so excited to travel to the islands with all of his radio pals. I got to know Willie over many cold beers and plates of jerk chicken and learned that despite his tough exterior, he was a kind hearted man with a giving soul. You will be missed Willie, and my family sends condolences to Angie, Jesse and the rest of the family.

So sorry to hear of your sudden loss. Willy and I always talked about technical things. I enjoyed taking my grandson to watch Jesse race. Willy was worried about his beer, I smiled and said Jesus is bigger than any beer. As a cousin we both liked power, speed and noise. Prayers of comfort for both of you. Glenn and Elaine Gingrich

Willie our Northern friend. Respect to an artistic fabricator. Will always remember the first time we met. We trailered our bike up for Rick and Harrie's annual party. We partied all night and then rode to Niagara falls the next day even with the bike problems and the pouring down rain was a great day, with good people. The second time we crossed the border you gave Steve the bottle opener that you made it is still put to good use and hangs out with the garage frig RIP our good friend you will truly be missed

Although not as close in recent years – with Willie, Angie and Jesse spending lots of family time together – I was lucky enough to have Willie and Angie allow me to tag along on their trip to Sturgis, South Dakota in 2006. Poor Willie! Can you imagine him having to put up with two chattering women for that 30+ hour ride there?!? And then back again!!! But he was a trooper and didn’t toss me out!
My favorite memory of Willie will always be the day we rode through the Black Hills and it went from a beautiful sunshiny day to a sudden cloudburst of hail! And lots of it! There was Willie riding in his sleeveless T-shirt kicking up “snow” from the drifts we were riding through! He was darn cold but he was having a blast! That memory will always make me smile!
I’ve added a couple of pictures from that time plus one from their wedding.
Normally you say “rest in peace” for someone but I know that’s not you Willie! So I’ll just say “give ‘em hell”!!!!
You’ll be missed by many including Ross and me. And until we can join that heavenly party, keep the bikes revved and the beer cold!!!

Angie we are soooooo sorry to hear about your loss, we will never forget the week we spent with both of you at Sandals south coast in Jamaica, from the time we all met at the airport to Willie playing tour guide on the bus, to him running the video for you, he was all in an just a joy to be around, and seeing him at the track with Jessie as the proud dad again just all in.
We feel blessed that you let us into you circle, and know he will be greatly missed, and we will be keeping you in our thoughts and prayers
