Monticello, AR Friday, December 16, 2022 I have a lot of fond memories of Uncle Willis when I was growing up. He always made you feel welcomed whenever anyone came to visit, opening the doors, shaking your hand and making sure you had somewhere to sit when you walked into the house. He was a kind small GIANT and he loved BIG and worked HARD!Relinka Miller
