That house & family was part of the neighborhood soul
I don't know if the elder Mr. Willie is still alive, but he was a great neighbor who gave me his homegrown tomatoes each summer I lived nearby. I always liked to chat with him as he worked in his yard or sat on his steps with his cat. Sad to see the homestead burn but I'm glad it seems no one was hurt.
Yes I knew him, too. Great
Yes I knew him, too. Great neighbor. Great gardener, too. The old man passed away in 2012 but his son lived in the house thereafter. So sad. That house was in the family since 1978. I used to sit on the front porch and visit often.
Thanks for letting me know, Maria...
.... I had stopped by a few times since I moved, but never saw anyone.
