Willie is survived by his beloved wife of sixty years, Sandra; daughter Lisa (Mike) and sons Bill and John (Stephy); five adored granddaughters: Katie, Olivia, Claire, Sidney & Paige; and one great granddaughter, Quinn; along with a large extended family. Willie graduated from Mount Vernon High School in 1963 and earned his bachelor’s degree from American University. Professionally, he dedicated most of his life to public service. He began his career working for the US Postal Service. Then he transitioned to being a United States Park Police officer; which led to working at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC).

After retiring he continued work doing background investigations for the Air Force and Homeland security. For many years, he was also a devoted volunteer for the Lions Club, Gabriel Homes Charity and a member of the Moose Lodge of Woodbridge. In high school, Wilie played and excelled in football and baseball and developed a love for organized sports. He was well known for his dedication to his true passion, coaching. He not only coached his own children but countless others throughout the years: Woodbridge Little League, American Legion baseball, all star/travel softball and baseball teams. Willie was the head coach of the Osbourn Park High School varsity softball team for many years. His passion for the game and commitment to developing young talent left a lasting mark on everyone he coached. He also spent many years as a high school football referee. Willie enjoyed playing golf with friends and family, smoking a good cigar, and organizing trips and traveling with his granddaughters. Willie was a huge fan of local sports, notably the Washington Nationals and Washington Redskins. Willie will be deeply missed by all that knew him and loved him.
