He was a hard working person and in working part time on his days off for my dad doing carpentry he.was well loved by co-workers. Perry Thomas
My condolences to the family and God will provide comfort at this difficult time. To my classmate JoAnn and Pat, your dad left a legacy that I will never forget. I know he loved The Lord and the church, but he was also a great community leader and mentor. I remember how he worked with us as young boys playing baseball with the blue jays. I thank God for placing him in our lives teaching us to be godly men.
To the family of Willard Mayes we send our most heartfelt condolences at this time of grief and sadness. Being deeply acquainted with grief and sorrow I promise you the grey lifts as the Son invades. What a beautiful and long life Mr Mayes lived. What love he had for his family. What a shout as he entered heavens gates enshrouded in his eternal body. No more sickness. No more heartache. Just joy unspeakable.
