RHoover,
I am Willie’s oldest daughter, Greta Sawyer. My sister, Sherryl, and I want you to know that our Dad passed away Thursday, June 18 at the Benkelman hospital. The cause was congestive heart failure. Dad was not feeling his best for a few months and had good days and days he was extremely tired. But he was able to live alone until the last week and a half. My sister and I were here to care for him as he grew weaker. He had a really bad night Tuesday and we put him in the hospital Wednesday afternoon. He had medication to keep him comfortable. Sherryl stayed with him until midnight then came back home. The nurse called to tell us he had passed at 3:30 AM Thursday morning. When Sherryl and I went to the hospital he looked very peaceful. He told us he was “ready to go” so it’s a good thing for him even tho it’s sad for us. We will miss his sense of humor and his expressions of love. But we are comforted by knowing he is in a better place.
Services are Friday, June 26, 10:30 AM, MDT, at the Benkelman Methodist Church. There will be a luncheon following.
Greta Wall Sawyer and Sherryl Wall Williams
