With the remembrance being this Friday it looks to be to short notice for me to be able to attend as much as I'd like to. Still think I'm gonna take the day off and visit with everyone via Skype.

Feels too real, now, somehow.
Thank you for your near-obsessiveness in tracking down information.
I reckon I've figured out that I feel like shit for losing touch, not making time, not making "the trip" (to wherever or for whatever), etc.

You know, the usual...
STFU. Life gets in the way of a lot of stuff. Let's celebrate our friend's life, not mourn our own shortcomings. He wouldn't hold anything against you and you know it. That's why we all loved him so much; he wasn't an asshole.

I hope you are able to join us on the Skype this weekend.

I would like to propose a rule: No maudlin behavior. Instead, it will be a true celebration. I hope to trade stories and even do our best imitations of him.

Now, go buy some Kraken!

Yeah, I reckon I needed a “STFU” as well. I’ll be on later Friday as my job requires both my attendance and my s*briety.

I cried a million more tears at this and especially "Little Deer", but also had a million laughs at "Billy Hot Dog". Wonderful things I never knew about him. Beautiful! Thanks for sharing. What a lovely tribute.

Can anyone find the pics of Willies Bubblez and me from Uller Fest? I can't seem to locate them or my drunk ass never posted them.

Just heard the news now about Mr Willies. Great energy on the skype calls. Never a bad word to say. He will be missed.

Thoughts with his family and friends!
Major Strasser: What is your nationality?
Rick: I'm a drunkard.

Dear Willies,

With you a very special human being left my heart and the world.
I just wanted to say thank you.
Without yout I would have never found my wife.
You welcomed me wholeheartedly to this very MDM crowd. And I`m so thankfull for that!
We shared so many funny moments we can`t even recollect em.
A part of me went with you.
We were brothers, or fathers as we joked.
You were my guide around, the world with a smile aloud

We never met in person but we understood.
You were always the open ear with good advice.
Down there in the drunkenhood.

Blah blah oettinger shut up drink on me,
Willies I will but it`s not easy on me!

This one really hurts, PROSIT FOREVER, cheers Mistah Willies

Germany to Maine, I`m loving you like a Nightrain
Drink!

I shared this with the Skype crew but yesterday during Willie's Celebration of Life, we were celebrating our own "celebration of life" in a different way because it was my b-day. Me n' oett were partying down and listening to 80's music and Bananarama's remake of "I'm Your Venus" came on and I'll never forget Willies singing his own improv on that song on Skype "I'm your penis...I'm your penis, I'm your vagina!" It made me laugh and I knew that it was a sign that he was there drinking with us in spirit.

Somewhere on the board I said this before but I always thought that Willies was Wilson from Tool Time. Always there, always reliable, always kind, always sage advice. Funny too, that their names are similar.
