My heartfelt condolences to Willie's family. I had the great honor and pleasure of working with Willie on his CD, but our friendship went far beyond the work. He was a bright light in my life, funny, talented,and a joker. I could get him going and I so enjoyed getting a rise out of him. Very fond memories of one of the great characters in my journey through life - he will be missed. "The Friendly Isle of Newfoundland" has lost a beloved son and troubadour. Nonie and Eugene.
