My condolences to the family, I am sorry for your loss.  We all loved Willie, to me when I was a youngster Willie was a good role model.  Through him I could see that hard work payed off!  I also thought of him as a here because he did lots of things.  He was also a great guy.

Willie and his family lived on the hill behind us in Highland Boy. All grades 7 through 12 went to Bingham High School in those days. Part of the initiation for 7th graders was to be hit by the older class mates the first week of school. Some kid was working me over my first week and Willie came to my rescue. I never forgot that!

Condolences to the family!

Jan, may his kids, grandkids, and great grandkids be grateful they had him in their lives.
May you only have good memories of your life together.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
Little brother who always looked up to him.

My friend from high school days,  RIP.  Tillie Sanchez -Armijo.   Bingham high school days

We will miss Speedy tremendously--our friend & gardener.  Arizona will be different without you.  Love to Jan and family, you all have a lot of good memories to keep in your hearts.

Willie always took such good care of us after Dad died.  He was a second father and a great friend to 3 little Coombs girls who will always love him and be grateful for his generosity and hard work.  Jan and kids, my thoughts are with all of you now.

Speedy was a great man. Even tho I was always so dang scared of him, but behind that bark was a very loving, giving, helpful, hard working man. I had many years that i was able to work with him and Jan, they was the best employers I ever had. "Speedy" and his name will live on in the trucking business. until we meet again good buddy R.I.P 
Love Tracy and Marian Carter
If you need anything Jan we are here for you. love you

Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow may looking back on memories can help comfort you tomorrow. While we are mourning the loss of our friend "Speedy". others are rejoicing to meet him. Love from the John Masse family.
