So sorry to the Wolverton family on the loss of "Willy", I am the daughter of John Himelright & one of my best memories of Willy was each Christmas I would receive in the mail or dropped off @ the house a brown envolope mailer & in it was a White House Christmas ornament. I will always remember him each year when I display these. Bobbie Steward

Emily and I are so sorry about the passing of Willie. We know these are tough times you and we just wanted you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. As Executive Director of the Winchester Education Foundation, for which I am constantly in touch with Handley alumni and friends, we took great pride in Willie's football career with the Judges. He really was a legend and I can't count the times I heard great stories from Matt Carper or Al Lazazzera on Willie's exploits, both on and off the field. In summary, he was a legend. I'm sorry that I missed the memorial service, but I was out of town. God bless and Go Judges. Your friend, Russ
