Few of us today can begin to understand the challenges that Bill Willis faced and overcame in his career.
In Africa, there is celebration when someone who has lived an exemplary life dies. Bill Willis was a warrior. He spent his life trying to help other youth achieve the success that he had achieved himself. He is an example to us all. Well done, Bill, and God bless. You will not be forgotten. ![]() |

God Speed, Bill Willis. I'm so happy that he was able to enjoy his day of honor at Ohio Stadium before passing. Someone of whom it certainly can be said that he left his world and his country a better place.

Glad he got to hang on long enough to have his special moment at the 'Shoe and to see Ohio State beat the crap out of Michigan one more time.
RIP |

That seriously choked me up a little bit hearing of his passing just now. We'll miss ya Bill.
The man was the embodiment of OSU football. His name will always be up there with the greats. And he may have the single most memorable solo picture in OSU football history. |
