Coach Willis was our baseball coach at Garland high school my sophomore and junior years. Great coach and better person. May God bless the Willis family.
He was my principal at Brandenburg. A wonderful leader who cared for his students.
My Jr. High principle at Sam Houston. I see him as a man who has had a positive influence on probably 1,000’s of people who in turn made a positive influence in this world. After years of no touch we came across paths at the Garland Police Academy Association Alumni meetings. We had some wonderful conversations these last few years. He was a gentle man and a brother in Christ. His faith has become sight as he is in the presence of his Savior, Jesus Christ, and in perfect peace.
