I had the pleasure of working with Willie at Karastan. He was committed to looking after quality and made sure things were done the right way. What a great asset he was to the plant, and what a fine man. My prayers are with you.

Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. I know him and grandma (Evelyn Dickerson) are smiling together in heaven. She always thought so much of Bill and the whole family. Its sad to think they both are gone now, but we can have peace in knowing they are with family gone on before. Take care, Love, Michell Dillard
