The death of Walter Willis
Dear Editor;
I learnt with great sadness of the passing of Engineer Walter Willis. To speak of Willis can either be done in a few short sentences or volumes. I choose the former.
I first met Walter on the Essequibo Coast and I have had to interact with him on different levels and circumstances.
Walter was extremely knowledgeble and shared his knowledge and experience freely with both the young and old. He was a gracious general in his own department and a super Guyanese patriot.
Walter’s passing is a great lost, not only to his wife, children and the rest of the family, but to the engineering fraternity and the people of Guyana as a whole. It will not be easy to fill the void created by his untimely demise. I will miss his candour and eagerness to help at all times.
On behalf of my wife, Jennifer and family, we extend sincere condolences to his wife, Dolly, children and the rest of the family. My sojourn in Texas may not allow my presence at his funeral, but I hope that he is put away with his traditional hat with which we all associate Walter as he moved around every part of Guyana.
