Shelby, we are heartbroken for you and the loss you feel. Willie was a dear friend to all who knew him and his passing leaves a big void in our lives. He was truly a beloved icon in Macclesfield and my personal “Guardian Angel.” May God give you comfort and peace.

Shelby,
I am so sorry for your loss. Willie was a good friend of mine in high school. He was the kind of friend that you dont forget and who will always have a special place in my heart. I am so thankful that I got to spend a little time with him at our class reunion. When i think back to the fun days at South Edgecombe Willie is always in those happy memories. Willie was a wonderful man and the kind of friend you always treasure. My heart hurts for you and all of us who loved him. I'll know i will see him again one day.

A philosopher and comedian. Never met a stranger. A walking history book. Shelby, I am so sorry for your and Macclesfield’s loss. I will always remember the things he said; both humorous and serious. He was genuine......what you saw is what you got.

Macclesfield will never be the same anymore with Willie & his sidekick Butch riding the roads. I got behind them the other day and just started laughing at them chugging along right slow taking in all the scenery. He always got a kick out of me kidding him about driving slow. My family will miss the phone calls wishing us happy birthday also. What a memory he had. Shelby, you and everyone that loved Willie are in our thoughts and prayers. We are so very sorry for your loss.
