    It is a sad day indeed as Willie was a delight to hear with his playing, as well as a person. Thankful that I have had many enjoyable times in his presence. The last time I took photos of him was in May, at the BMA’s. Now he will be returning to W. Helena, ARK in spirit only, on Oct 8th. Deepest sympathy to his family, his close friends, and fans.
    Respectfully~
