My sweet uncle Willie. I am so glad I got to dance with you last weekend. I love you and will miss your smiling face.
You were one of a kind our dear friend and will be so very missed by all….
I am so sorry for your loss. William was so helpful to my sister and brother-in-law Roger and Joyce Woolsey while they were alive.
Thank you for that. RIP William.
Willie, you always had a hello and smile for everyone you met and a shoulder or a hand for those in need! You will truly be missed!
Still miss you so much. Will love you forever when I lost you I lost my best friend ?.
A gentle soul has beaten us Home!! Sorry for y’all’s loss and I envy William’s gain!!
You are sooo loved and will be missed by so many who knew you. I pray that you knew how much I loved you as my brother. I was born & raised with the 3 sweetest & most thoughtful brothers that anyone could have. I know that I will be lost without you. You were Phillip & my big brother, so I don’t know what we’re going to do. I know that God will help us get through this, but it’s not going to be easy & it’s going to take some time. Love you sooo much. Your favorite sister (only one), but I know I would have been your favorite one anyway.
Lisa I am so very sorry for William’s passing! I always loved William and felt a kinship to William because we both have asthma. I so wish I could attend his services but am in Florida. My prayers to you and your family, Debrah Woolsey Rippeteau

I am so sorry Lisa for your loss. I didn’t know William was sick since we had sold Mom and Dad’s house. May he rest in peace. He was a good man.
