Willie, 
I will miss you at Electroswitch working with you for 12 years. You were a good supervisor and a kind man. We enjoyed listening to your stories of your wife and the golf games we know you loved them both. 
Rest in Peace!

I was so saddened to hear of my buddy and friend that I have known for years and years. Willie was such a kind man and would do anything for anybody. May you rest in peace.

Gwen, I am so sorry for your loss. Sending prayers and comfort in the coming days.

Gwen, I am so sorry about Willie. Every time I ever saw him he was so sweet and such a gentleman. I know that losing half of yourself is going to lead to some difficult days ahead. Many days you will only make it a minute at the time and some days you just can’t do it. God will sustain you just rest in him. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so very sorry to hear about Willie, I’m keeping you all in my prayers.  I love each of you dearly and am sending you lots of love.

I've been playing with Willie in the Riverwood golf group since 2008. I've always enjoyed his company and friendship and will miss him greatly. I know he was looking forward to retirement and spending more time with Gwen.

Willie, you left us way to early, you were way to young! We'll miss you buddy!

Rest in Peace!

Gwen.   So sorry to hear about Willie. He was such a Gentleman. Sending prayers to you.

Willie was and will always be a legend. Who has an entire golf group of 100+ people named after them?  Who has an entire points system named after them?   It’s not Stableford,  it’s Willie Points.  Legendary. Yet his most legendary accomplishment is that through his hard work, dedication and consistency, he brought so many of us together every single weekend.  Because of Willie, I and countless others, have formed so many loving and lifelong friendships.   RIP Legend.

I LIVED AND PLAYED GOLF AT RIVERWOOD FROM 2003-2014
I WOULD BE OUT OF BREATH TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH
HIM IN OUR GOLF GROUP.  HE LEFT US TOO EARLY.

Willie was a good man and a friend. I worked with Willie for 9 years at Electroswitch, and he was a steady and dedicated manager. Willie often spoke of Gwen and his family and it was obvious he loved her and his family very much.  I'll miss being able to talk Willie but Heaven got a good one. God bless and keep you, Gwen.

Willie was one of the nicest and most welcoming people I have met. I played golf with him a lot because we both always wanted to be in the first group so we could be done quickly. He loved golfing and the camaraderie of the weekend group at Riverwood. His passing is a real loss for the local golf community.

My condolences to all who were lucky enough to know Willie. It's been 6 years since I moved away, but am still saddened that I'll never see my friend again. He was a true southern gentleman.

I have great memories working with Willie at Ark-les.  He was a good guy and fun to work with.  Never a dull moment.  You will be missed by many Willie.  A great guy gone too soon.

I played more golf with Willie than I would like to admit. He did not tolerate slow play and we often played 18 in less than 3 hours. Willie, Bunky, Darin, and I created the weekend group at Riverwood that continues today. Willie would educate new players on the group rules and expectations. He often spoke of his wife Gwen and his love for her. I will miss you brother!
