Willie was a friend and neighbor. We occasionally worked together in my cousin's tomato field. He was shy and hard to get to know , but he was a ruthless comic, once you did. We were always joking with eachother and throwing "rotten" tomatoes at each other, in the field.

I know his family still misses him and he was a great loss to his friends. He will always be remembered as a friend ... boy, did he have some RED hair.
