Gretchen I'm very slow but just now realizing that this is your son. I am so sorry for your loss. as I read his obituary, I realize how much I would have loved to have met him. I love animals... dogs especially like him. And several members in our family love the Green Bay Packers and auto racing. we would have a lot in common to talk about. I'm sure he was a wonderful man coming from a wonderful woman. And I'm so heartsick for you, his wife,his children and Kal. I'm sure it was a great loss and still so young. My heart and sympathy goes out to all of you. It sounds as if you know he's in a better place with less suffering. God bless you all!

Dear Janice, I helped care for little Christine at CMH years ago and admired your and Ron’s strength during that difficult time. (I also still laugh thinking of Ron wearing a shirt with a monogram on the cuff...but it wasn’t his monogram. When I asked him he said he had gotten it at a garage sale or Goodwill!) You surely have had your share of sadnesses and I hope that the good memories will help you get through this painful time. Fondly, Pat Gibbons (retired nurse practitioner at CMH)

To Janice and the rest of the Willard family my deepest condolences. It’s heart breaking to say the least that he’s no longer with us. I had known him since I was a teenager when he gave me one of my earliest jobs at the Ranchmart movie theater. He was one of the most giving men I’ve ever known and I will miss him dearly. Truly one of the best friends I’ve ever had. I will never forget him and will cherish all of the time we spent hanging out or working together. Sincerely heart broken. My God bless you and your family Jason.
