Garry Guymon Sue Hall hallsl@live.com I would like to tell the family how very sorry I am for your loss. Willie was a great man. I worked with him at the boiler house at the INL for many years. He was the first partner on crew that I was placed with. He taught me allot. With his help I qualified as Senior Operator in Utilities. I sure missed him when he left but I was glad that he got to retire and spend time with his family. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
