A little about Willie: He was quick to poke fun, or "pull" a trick - He was quick to calculate the price, weight, or square footage WITHOUT a calculator. - He loved a good Euchre game, good laugh, and a good auction - He HATED funerals, "free-loaders" and high prices - But he loved family, friends, and little kids he always called peanuts.
He is survived by his wife, Joyce Wahl of Monroe, WI; daughters, Rebecca (Howard) McKee of Browntown, Shelly (Keith) Kubly of Monticello, Heidi (Dan) Flynn of Anchorage, Alaska; grandchildren, Dan and Jinelle Kubly, Mikala and Jason McKee, and great-granddaughter Jacklyn Kubly.
He was preceded in death by his parents, brother, Leland; sisters, Dolores Nyhus and Joyce Iandola.
Private Graveside Services will be held on Friday, July 27, 2012 at Graceland Cemetery in Blanchardville, Wisconsin with Pastor Mary Gafner officiating.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, July 27, 2012 from 5:00 - 9:00 pm at Eagle Pass in Monticello, Wisconsin.
