I am truly sadden by the death of one of the nicest guys I know. Heinz always had a smile on his face and a kind word. We would see him with that. Great smile. Sorry to hear of his death. God Bless,

When I worked at Wollin, Willie was a bright spot in my day. Always upbeat, he was never without a story. He continued to test my memory (or lack thereof !) of German everywhere, including summer band concerts. I'll miss seeing him this summer, but know we'll meet up in heaven someday.

Dear Ellie, A marriage of 60 years does not end when one passes on to eternity. Our earthly bonds may be broken but our spiritual bonds carry on. Heinz will continue to be with you in memories and through your children and grandchildren. May God give you and your family the comfort He so freely gives.

Dear Elli and Family, I always looked forward to our Thrivent meetings when I served as an agent. From the first time I met Willi it was very clear that he was a devout Christian man, not because he displayed his faith via a cross or t-shirt...he wore the badge of Christ in his heart and it showed right thru him when he spoke and when he smiled. I pray that God provide you with comfort thru your friends and family.

Elli.. I'll always treasure the time we spent at TAHQUAMENON FALLS. In the UP of Michigan.. It was a very happy visit/time.. Heinz was a joy to talk to and had a great sense of humor.
