I was shocked to hear about Willie. I just talked with him not too long ago. We worked together for many years @Shoemaker mine. Willie was a hard worker and he could make a bad day into an enjoyable day. He always talked about his family so much that I feel like I was part of his family. I know that he was proud of his new home and his collection of shot glasses. It's hard to express my feelings for Willie but I loved him like a brother. Rest in peace my friend. Peace and comfort to the Ford family.

I grew up in Stewartsville and Willie has been a great friend, I considered him family. Willie, Stephen, Bob, Mike and Chad Balwanz were always together. We played (very rough) back yard football, often challenging other local communities to a football game. Willie was tough as nails and there was no better friend. May God bless and comfort the great Ford family. You will sorely missed my friend! With much love and respect. Chad Balwanz and family

You have my sincere sympathy. I met and spoke with son Willie at Whitesides recently. Such a nice guy, just like his father. RIP, Willie
