My deepest sympathy for the family. Willie always had the nicest smile and was a good friend to my sons Dan and Mark Polistina.

Willie was more than a carpenter, he was a craftsman. He built the additions to our home without blueprints and was advisor and craftsman when Brian built his log home. He was very kind. Our sympathy to his family.
