School Memory
I have many great memories. For ten years Willis, Rose and I drove to school, winter and summer with a horse and buggy or cutter. Every school day Willis would hitch one side of the horse’s harness to the buggy and I the other whether rain, shine, blizzard or cold. We would sit in a row with Willis in the middle.
At school we unhitched the horse and put it in the school barn. After school we again hitched the horse and in one hour we were home. On nice days we talked and enjoyed the ride, however there were cold winter days that we huddled together and covered up to keep warm. When Willis was grade ten he
said he wanted to farm and quit school. Dad was agreeable and from that day on Willis was a farmer.
Rest in Peace Willis

We are so very sorry for your loss. How fortunate we were to have known Willis and Rita. My parents always spoke so highly of you both, and it was easy to see why. Willis’s kind, generous, and gentle nature truly reflected the best of what it means to be a good person—he was someone people were naturally drawn to and felt comfortable around.
Rita, the care and compassion you showed Willis throughout his life, and especially during his health challenges in recent years, was truly remarkable. You were a constant source of love and support for him, and that will always be remembered.
Our memories of Willis will remain in our hearts forever. Please know that you are in our thoughts during this difficult time.
