Wow! This was a tough one. There's so so many good memories I have of Mr. Widener and his family, I don't know where start. I guess I'll start with going to school with Ben at a very young age and becoming good friends. Then we started playing football, basketball, riding bikes etc.. like on an everyday basis. I'll never forget how Whimpy, Mrs. Dorcille and the whole Widener family took us in as family. Mrs. Widener was and still is like a 2nd mother to us. Mr. Widener and family will never know or understand how much they mean to me and my family. I thank GOD for allowing us to be associated with such LOVING people. Whimpy, THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR FAMILY WITH ME AND MY FAMILY. WE LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH AND MISS YOU. THANKS AGAIN FOR EVERYTHING. FOREVER IN OUR PRAYERS!!!

We just today learned of the passing of our family member and friend. Wimpy will be remembered as a devoted husband, loving father and friend to all those who knew him. Rest in peace until we meet again in heaven one day.

I remember as a young girl living on 5th, up the street from Wimp and next door to Ricky, we had so much fun. Kids were up and down that street playing from sun up to sundown. Always being told to look both ways before crossing the street, we would see Wimp a block away (in a "red" something) and waited for him to pass. But after missing supper a few times (insinuating it would take him a while), we finally figured out that we could get across the street, get the ball, run back and still have time to wave before he even made it to us, shaking his finger and laughing. He will be missed dearly.
