My Uncle Willie,
Often times a quiet man, but growing up I always remember how he made us laugh with his little jokes and his smiles. A lot of times I thought he was just a big kid in a grown man's body. I wish I had more time to spend with him but I know for sure, he was and will always be in my heart forever. He is in a better place now with no suffering and complete happiness but his smiles will live in me forever. We love you Uncle Willie. Dianna and Jaime

I met Uncle Willie when he was with my Aunt Marcella. He was a wonderful man and was always good to me. I spent summers at their house every year util I was about 11. You will surely be missed. RIP
