Our prayers are with you. Willy- as he was known at Goodyear, was a great man. I always saw a generous guy who would help anyone he could. Always generous and always smiling. Never turned down a job- when other maintenance guys would say it was a production job to remove rubber around a roll for example Willy would jump in and get the machinery going. He rode his  motorcycle to work in about any weather downpours and freezing temperatures didn't detour him. Whenever I would see him look at his wife- there was true love in his eyes. could go on and on. The world needs more Willy's. God bless you all.

Margaret and Bill were part of what I call the  "Kinney Pike Gang". They were always at the gatherings that were held back in the day when neighbors got together.  Hard to let go of that generation.  So sorry

To the Sheets Family
About anyone who knew Bill Sheets liked him, he was that kind of guy. I want to reflect on his love for family and old tractors, the pride I saw when his tractors were in the Richwood Fair Parade each with a different family member driving was wonderful. Carry on family you have had a great example.

Uncle Bill was always one of the best listeners that I have ever known. Family values that were always wonderfully shared in everything that he did. He and Aunt Margaret have always kept family first in all they have done in their lives. It is now apparent in my cousins and their family's. I love and respect them greatly for the impact on all of us.
