We have so many great  memories of Wille  and wish the best for Allissa, Vince and Buck  in their time off loss"

"My dear sweet Edwards and Bebee family...Oh how we all will miss Willie. We had some good times, some great laughs, and an even better friendship! Keaton loved his Willie-Man. One night when he was about 3 we were saying his nightly prayer...we always bless our family at the end and as we were going down the list and about to say "Amen" Keaton stopped me and said..."AND WILLIE-MAN". (so sweet) xo"

"Willie was the life of the party at Gramma & Grampa's...always joking and having fun and with that huge grin on his face.  I think of him joining them & Gramma welcoming him with open, loving arms. We will miss his spirit.  Thinking of you, cousins, with sadness for your loss and love in our hearts. Love you guys so much."

"We will miss ya Willie man."

"To Vinnie and Allissa, Tyler and I are so sorry for your loss.  I remember the last time I was at your house for a party...I think it was the same party with the fire in the backyard in the pictures?  Willie just had that familiar glint in his eye.  Never a dull moment with Willie around!"

"Our thoughts and prayers are with you.  Willie was a great guy and he will be missed."

"Willie, you will be remembered for so many things, but mostly the friendships you gave the world and the laughter you brought into so many lives. You were a husband, father, friend and hero...and I am proud to have known and called you friend.  "

"May you fly with the angels and be at peace as we will all unite one day"

"Bret, Tony, and I will all miss Willie and the fun-loving guy he was.  He always extended generosity and hospitality to us - if it was his, it was ours as well.  Thanks for delicious seafood, fun times, and for teaching Tony to be an amazing poker player!  You will be missed Willie...and we hope your peace far outweighs our sadness."

"Forever

I wrote your name in the sky
and the wind blew it away.  

I wrote your name in the sand
and the ocean washed it away.

I wrote your name in my heart
and there it will remain forever.
