It is with great sadness that I type this tonight. A long-time friend of Detail City, Willard Reece, has passed away. Willard helped me make Detail City what it is today. One time I tried hiring someone else to take his place, that was a big mistake. Willard is THE MAN when it comes to working on VBulletin forums.

He has been my website designer, my problem solver and my friend since I met him back in 2002. Recently, when Detail city was under attack by hackers, Will was just a phone call away and right there working through the night and into the early morning hours. He would tell me that he might be tired after his chemo, but that he would get back to work after he took a nap and got recharged.
He would often put other people in front of his own needs.

I never met him in person. Most of our conversations were through MSN Messenger and on the phone. I`m glad that I got to know him. He will be greatly missed.

Take care buddy. :bawling:

awww.... that is too bad. I talked to Willard a time or two when I was helping with various aspects of one of the redesigns. He was always a really helpful person and great to work with. I`m sure he has left a gap in a lot of lives.

Dwayne,
I`m sure that his magic touch will be missed by all of us, but I take comfort in knowing that he is in a better place and no longer suffering. Now it is we who must carry on and make the City a great testament to him.
