Dear Mr. Wills,
I will always remember you as the neighborhood Dad. You were soft spoken, but everyone listen and respected you. I remember you only raising your voice to get you kids in the house when dinner was on the table.
I watched you nervous over your kids, building the muscle cars. But you let them grow, and supported them in everything they wanted do. I remember your wife worried of you driving semi truck on the road. She would light up with excitement when you were coming down the street, home safe in her arms.
Us kids thought of you as a strong hard working cool truck driver man. I remember many days, and nights hanging out in your garage with your kids. You would come outside to visit with us, but make sure we all stayed in-line.
You talked about your days of how thing’s were, and we all loved listening to your stories. You were a great father, and the guys all wanted to be like you (The Marlboro Man). You taught us all to work hard, and have morals, and respect for others. I will remember you as a great man, who worked very hard to take care of his family!
Wish your life could of been longer here to watch over all your kids, and grand kids growing up. A part of you will be remember in all of us.
Your kids all have your heart, strength, and good looks. You will be missed, and always loved by all. ♡
Love,
Li’l Nancy down the street

I remember your Dad very fondly. I used to wish he was my Dad. He would bring all us kids in the nieghborhood bags of chips home from work. One particular time he brought home Funyuns (they were new) I loved them and put the bag in my scrapbook. I still have it today. I remember him as being fun loving and always willing to spend time with us kids. I am so glad I got to see him before he passed away.
