Our deepest condolences to the Stines family. I had the pleasure of working with Willie for 23 years (what a jokester!). More recently, my son and daughter were also given the opportunity to work with him and enjoy his "unforgettable" personality. Not a day went by without a joke, a laugh, and always a smile. May you find comfort in all of the memories he leaves behind. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

Aqui esoy pensando en ti, Everytime you cross our my minds. Tu sabes que me wito. I remember the jokes and the laugh's we use to have. I rememeber those time like it was yesterday. It's hard to believe that was back in the past. We never thought that we'd have to go through anything like this. Now we all are sitting back praying, saying R.I.P. You will be on missed! We'll say a prayer for you everyday and everynight. Mom sits back wipping tears from her eyes. We all sit and talk about the memories we use to share, and she starts to cry. She says how much she wants to hold you back again, in her arms like before, holding you by your hand or how use to take her to the yard sales... It's hard to accept that you had to go. I know we will see each other again, because we'll all be there someday.
REST IN PEACE UNCLE! WE LOVE YOU!!

GOD looked around HIS garden and found an empty place. He then looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face. He put HIS arms around you, and lifted you to rest.
GOD'S garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering, he knew you were in pain, he knew that you would never get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough, and the hills were hard to climb, so he closed your weary eyelids and whispered, "PEACE BE THINE". It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn't go alone, for part of us went with you the day GOD called you home.
You will always be missed and we love you brother.
