Willard was one of the first people I met in AAW.....big surprise, there. He could have not been more generous of spirit and encouragement. He actually helped me locate my first Powermatic, serial number 0003....he had #2 and Rude had #1. It was always a treat when he would come down to Nick Cook's shop for lunch and we would share some amazing BBQ. During the last year or so, Sara proved to be an amazing wife, a servant to her beloved. I will never forget the hoards of people who gathered round Willard, the patron saint, as he rolled into the Southern Symposium for what we all knew would be his last dance. His spirit of passion and service should prove to be an inspiration to all of us who continue on in this organization.
It will be a differen world without him, but it will also be a better world because of him. May God bless him as he moves to a new life.
