I love you papaw. I still remember the times you would come around the corner and Mamaw would be sitting in her recliner and she would holler for you and there you would come. She would jump up out of the chair. Always smiling and always laughing. I’m so sad that your gone but I’m happy to know that you are with Mamaw again.

I first met Mr. Villers when he was my biology teacher. I remember when my dad found a petrified log and ask me to give it to Mr. Villers, to him it was a wonderful gift, one of the best teachers I ever knew. He was a caring loving family man. I did ask him to do my wedding on September 2, 1984. Then renewed 10 years later. We are still together 33 years later. Thank you Mr. Villers for every thing, we shall meet again. God bless you Prayers and hugs to all

July 11, 2018 " Be not afraid. I go before you always. Come,follow me, and I will give you rest. " I did not know Pappaw Villers personally. I do know he was loved by many people. He had a full life, filled with the love of God and the Holy Spirit. I was saddened when I learned from Chasity Sions that he had passed away. Maybe Eli Sions has one of the best perspectives on this - he will get to see God, and Mammaw, his favorite girl. This is a good thing! Teach your children well, indeed! While Lewis is no longer physically with you, he is still guiding you! You will sense his presence when you need it most; yet expect it least. You may repeat things he said to you. He and Mammaw will be watching over you. Share the pictures, stories and memories as often as you are able.No doubt, some will make you cry or laugh. Others will just make you shake your head! I will keep you all in my prayers in the days and weeks ahead. Susan Etchison Kingwood, West Virginia
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

So sorry for your loss. He was such an amazing, loving, kind, knowledgeable man who left an imprint in my heart. Thinking of your family in the days ahead. I can only imagine is the song that comes to mind. He has reached the gates and is meeting our Heavenly Father and reunited with Louise. I can only imagine. No pain or suffering. He was angel on earth and now in heaven.
