Willy will be remembered for his passion for everything he believed in or loved from his family, his friends, his life goals or his work in environmental test chambers, the electrical field and the World of Pizza. He loved traveling and spending time with old friends and making new friends. He wrote music, was a World Champion Pizza Maker, loved working on the farm with the land and his cows & his buffalo, Cinnamon Girl. Willy was known to have a sense of humor and always tried to make you laugh. He was working towards getting a Chemical/Biological Warfare Medal of Distinction passed for all those past, present and future who suffer from or died from Chemical/Biological Warfare. Willy's favorite quote was; " Everything happens for a reason." Sometimes you know right away why and other times you don't know for a long time but when you do know, it becomes very clear that God had a plan. We will always love you and keep you in our hearts and in our memories!

A memorial service will take place on Sunday, July 28 at 2:00pm with a one-hour visitation prior to the service, at American Legion Post 49, 129 Michigan Ave, South Haven, MI 49090.
