Loving husband and best friend of Evelyn (predeceased). Willie and Evelyn were together from the age of 14 and happily married for 61 years.

After many years of service with Consumers Gas, Willie retired to a second life with Evelyn as Canadian &lsquo;Snow Birds&rsquo;.<br />Willie was the epitome of a true gentleman.

A truly lovely man who will be sorely missed by all who knew him.<br />Loving and dearest father to Bill (Allison), Lyn (Brad).
