Dear Julie,Sarah and Laura                                                  I was just talking with another R-MC football teammate who just left the hospital after triple bypass heart surgery ❤️. Thoughts of Willie came to mind as well as thoughts of your mother Karen🥂. Such a wonderful example of two lovely 😊 parents !  I trust the three of you are excelling in your each of your lives. I always enjoyed being around your family at Christmas time 🐝. I know it’s been awhile but just wanted to send this message blessing the three of you .

Wllie was a very busy man but always found time to visit with us and answer all of our questions. He was always on top of things and kept us informed. We enjoyed working with him and he will truly be missed for a very long time.

My sympathies and condolences to your entire family, on the loss of Willie. I saw him twice a day, as a courier for VITA, and we always had a laugh over something. I know so many times he was frustrated or overwhelmed, but he never let it get to him. I will truly miss seeing Willie and his sense of humor. I'm so glad I had a chance to know him. My best wishes to you all.

My deepest sympathy and condolences on your loss.  I worked with Willie at the Dept. of Social Services and he was always very pleasant.   You are in my prayers.

To: The Kibler Family
My thoughts and prayers are with you in your tremendous loss.  I pray that The Great Comforter, the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ, will be present with you and bring you that supernatural peace that passes understanding.
  Jack was a classmate of mine at R-MC and Willie was a couple of years behind us. He was in a group of young football players who helped transform R-MC into a championship football team. I really admired the tough, aggressive defense they played. As I remember Willie was a hard-hitting defensive back.

MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS EXTEND TO ALL OF YOU.I KNEW WILLIE AT RMC.HE WAS AN EXCELLENT DEFENSIVE BACK. I HAD TO TRY TO BLOCK HIM AT PRACTICE BUT HE WAS QUICKER THAN ME. I WAS ALSO A FRAT . BROTHER AND GOT TO KNOW HIM BETTER THERE.MY BEST TO ALL OF YOU DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME.  SINCERELY KEN MCALLISTER RMC CLASS OF 72.

Dear Karen,
          I was so deeply distressed to hear of Willie's death.  He was my big brother in the fraternity,we were football teammates, and we were both pracher's kids.  When  I was serving St. Luke's  we always played softball each  summer.  I have such good memories of Willie  and counted him as a good friend.  I  spoke to Gail Held  who is a member of my congregation.  She  told me how much she appreciated Willie when he worked at Disco  Sport.  We  will really miss him and send our deepest sympathies.
Grace and peace,
John and Julie Peters

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. We have cherished memories of Willie's years playing Bon Air Methodist Softball. May God's grace keep you strong during this very difficult time.

Karen and David,
I am very sorry about the passing of a good friend. We all knew Willie over the years, and he was always warm and personable, and a very good friend, as well as an outstanding teammate. He would go out-of-his-way to "help" in any way he could. It won't be the same without him. We will indeed feel the void in our lives. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.

Dear Family of Willie,  I am saddened by your loss.  The service yesterday was beautiful and poignant.  I worked with Willie for about 4 years when he was at the Dept. of Social Services.  He was a really good guy.  He and I had many chats about Hilton Head, and especially the Sea Grass Grille.  He had a good heart.  My thoughts are with you in this very difficult time.

Karen, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.  Please let me know if I can help in any way.

Dear Mrs. Kibler:

After graduating from RMC, I have spent my whole life in intercollegiate athletics as a coach and administrator.  Each year, I speak to hundreds of college athletes and I always tell a story about Willie.

Back when Willie was playing at RMC, we had just finished a Friday practice when a youngster walked up to Willie and out of the blue asked Willie why he played football.  Willie answered by saying that hundreds or thousands of people with the price of admission can sit in the stands and watch a game but that there are only 22 players on the field.  He went on to say that you had to be special to be one of those 22 players and that he wanted to be special.

Willie was right, he was special.
