I am sorry for your loss. Willy had a unique personality and that is what made him a special person. He would always be making wise cracks. He was a great worker who loved working hard. I will miss working with him. We had one thing in common our love for sweets especially ice cream. Rest easy my friend.

William was one of the genuine people of the Valley. Always interested in how others were faring in life, always there to lend a hand to friends and strangers alike...just a kind man with a good heart. My sympathies to all the Arko Family.
