As a member of the tennis community playing at the Oshawa Civic, and with the seniors at north Oshawa, Willi will be remembered for his hard hitting style of play and cheerful disposition. There are several previous tennis partners already waiting in the here after to enjoy future games with Willi.
My sincere condolences to the family.

Dear Anita and family
We are so sad for your loss. We’ve lost a very good friend and Frank has lost his good skiing buddy. He is thankful for the many great days at Kirby and the many ski trips away with Willi. He will cherish those memories. Willi is now back in the arms of the love of his life. Marie will be so happy to be with him again. We will miss that wonderful smile and kind nature.
Our sincere condolences to you and your family during this difficult time.
Love Frank and Lynda.

I have not known Willi very long but he and Maria wecomed me so warmly from the minute I met them. They were always happy to see Ed and I. Willi laughed easily, was lively and easy going and I will always remember that warm smile and those laughing eyes . I only had a short time with Willi and Maria; I am sorry I didn't meet them earlier in my life.

We had many favourite memories, one was our ski trip to Snowmass with Willi and family. Another was of course the trips to the cottage which they opened their arms to everyone and we always had to see how Maria got the pork roast ready for Pa to put on the Bbq. This was something to remember. It was always done with loving care and absolutely delicious. We will miss both Omi and Pa, but will never forget our wonderful friends. R.I.P. dear friend! Will always keep you in our hearts! Love from Barb and Kurt

Sorry for the loss of your Father, Anita. I remember, when we were kids, listening to the grown-ups conversations, and your Father was the most entertaining storyteller.
