Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Cindy, Heather and Cody, I was privileged to work and know Willie because of the Fire service he and I did for the city. He served as Lt. under me and I could always count on him to do the job. The day I retired, Willie and I made my last alarm together, May 19, 1988. He was a man of his word. He will be remembered.
Cindy, Our thoughts and prayers are will you. Willie has indeed left a hole in so many lives. Willie was loved and will be missed by many. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.
Cindy, Heather, Cody; I was stationed with Willie at #2 Station for a number of years. I always considered him to be part of my ‘family away from home.’ He was a devoted family man; a man of conviction who was not afraid to speak his mind. I was deeply saddened at the news of his passing. My deepest sympathy.
Cindy, Floyd and I were shocked and saddened to hear about Willie. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time of mourning.
To My Brother, I love you and I miss you deeply, please tell Dad we all miss him. Cindy, Heather, Cody, Randy, Kami, Linda, Bob and of course AVERY, Thank you all for making my Brother so happy in his short life, Avery was everything to him. Love to each of you. Barb

God Bless. Harvey Farha
