To the Family of Willard – he was always willing to help with electrical issues at our powwow grounds over many years. Always joking, laughing and a whiz at fixing any electrical issue. He will be missed. May his travel home to the Kingdom be filled with the voices of the Angels welcoming him.
Laura Wittenberg says
To all of Willards family,
So sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. So many memories of long ago, when our families were friends and spent so much time together.
Your Dad was a very kind and nice man. Many times when he was in Circle working, we would have lunch and visit about all the fun we had when at each others houses visiting. You kids all had fun when you all came out to the farm, while we played cards mostly pinochle.
You are all in my prayers. May God comfort you and wrap His arms around you. My deepest sympathy to you all.
Love and Prayers,
Kathy (Mickolio) Manders says

Condolences to the family. I didn’t know Willard personally but he and my husband John were good friends. John would mention him off and on. I’m sure they met each other in Heaven when Willard entered his eternal rest. John, I’m sure, was happy to see him.

Willard was a man who always wanted to share about the love of Jesus Christ with all that he came into contact. I will miss visiting with him.
travis fowler says
I remember riding along with you on contract jobs and tryin to help out here and there or around the shop cleaning up. Even well into my later years you would still talk to me in your old black and white gangster movie voice, “ko Travie,.”it was always a good time and so much to see and in the native country or to learn. I wish I would’ve stuck around more buckled down and listened or payed more attention maybe I’d be off in a good trade . I remember the size of your hands and how you would just bend those wires coming out the meter socket like they were nothing after watching me struggle for an hour. You will be missed grandfather, I wish I could go to the funeral, cant wait to hear your voice from the other side when my time is up. Rip
Joan Meyer says
Willard was a very kind man. and always interesting to talk to.
