I had the privilege of working and later volunteering at Donwood Manor EPH, where I first met Willi’s father Walter, and then also Willi, Sieg and Marianne. Willi and I shared a passion for sports, and this was the main topic of our conversations. It was sad to see his health deteriorate so quickly in the last few years, but gratifying to see his family rally around him. God bless you Sieg and Marianne. My condolences to the entire family. Wendell Penner. - Posted by: Wendell Penner (Friend) on: Mar 21, 2026
