My father in law, Pete Willis, Papa to my children, was a wonderful man. I couldn't have asked for a better father in law. He was generous, full of humor, loved…loved his children and grandchildren. He mostly showed me what the love of one woman could be, for how he so loved my mother in law Shirley. They were the example of true love. He'll be greatly missed by me and by everyone. Rest in Peace Pete… I'll see you again in Heaven. *blows a kiss love Tammy

Shirley and family I am so sorry for your loss. Uncle Pete always reminded me of my Dad in many ways. I know they were very close to one another and served together in Korea. I am very proud of him and my Dad for their service to our country. They were good men . I will miss seeing him at the family parties. Ken Willis
