Willie was a wonderful neighbor and friend. I will miss our visits especially the visits when we blocked the road! Always willing to help. You worked hard everyday. I certainly will miss "Old Red" coming down the road. RIP dear friend. See you again someday.

Sharon and I have known, gone to school with and worked with the Padgett family forever. Never a more honest hard working individual than Willy. I agree with David, the world would be a better place were there more Willie's. Marion County will miss him.

Willie was one of a kind with a gentle soul and caring heart. He never asked for much, however, he was always there to help others. He was a great friend and neighbor who drove that old beat up red Ford truck. Willie was an Ozark icon. They don’t make ‘‘em like Willie anymore. We’re sure going to miss him!

I am so sorry to hear of Willie’s passing. Willie was one of the kindest, most caring, hard working people I have ever known. I have known him as long as I can remember knowing anyone and I have never heard or seen anything but good about him.
My thoughts and prayers are with the Padgett family.
Rest In Peace Willie. Your kindness will always be remembered.

Willie was perhaps the hardest working man I ever knew. If everybody was like Willie, this world would have no problems.
