I have many favorite memories with Willie. One of my fondest memories with Willie is standing on the Ohio Union balcony on the day of Taste of OSU and working together to name as many countries' flags as we could. Another is sitting with him in his office and learning about his favorite collectables and how he acquired them. He was an amazing person that left an incredible impact.

The very first time I met Willie, we talked about getting my undergraduate degree at Denison University. Never a football power, Denison used an outdated, old school offense known as the single wing. From day one, I was “Single-Wing” to Willie. It was a wonderful introduction to Ohio State and Student Life.

I will remember how welcoming and kind Willie was, even to complete strangers. He would always greet people with a smile and story.
