There are so many things you can say about Willy, who lived a great life. He was a very hardworking man up until his retirement 14 years ago. Working as a hide expert. His workplaces include, Canadian Hide Exporters, Western Tanner's, and his last job before retiring was International Furs. He would do anything to help family and friends if he could. He would joke around with everyone he knew, especially giving people different names when he knew their names. You hardly ever saw him without a smile on his face. He loved playing his guitar and singing old country songs from his song books. He played baseball in his younger years in the Interlake region as a fastball pitcher. He loved watching sports like hockey, baseball, curling and football with family and friends. He loved his food. Family dinners such as Christmas, Easter, and BBQs he would be there. He was all around a great, fun, talented loving Man. He is surely going to be missed by all who knew him. We all love you. Fly high and get your Angel Wings. May you rest in peace.
