LLOYD EMERSON WILLIS
On September 3, 2018, Emerson Willis completed his journey on this earth and has been ushered into the presence of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Preceded in death by brothers Don and Willard Willis.
Emerson is survived by his wife of 58 years, Alice, their children; Dena Hayden (Scott), Andy Willis (Kathy), Trent Willis (April); special niece Jeri Soma; and grandchildren Holly Hayden, Kally Ruffing (Tim), Austin Willis (Erika), Josh Willis and Emily Willis, along with a host of beloved extended family and friends.
Emerson was born to Joseph and Irene Willis on Myrtle Ridge in Lawrence County, Ohio on November 20, 1929.
By sheer will and determination, Emerson was named Captain of his Waterloo Wonders high school basketball team. After graduating high school, he entered the US Army, serving in the Army of Occupation in Germany. Emmy was a top salesman at Haydocy Pontiac from 1955 through 2010, achieving Master Salesman Guild status each year, including a term as Cleveland Zone President in 1964. However, he most enjoyed time on the farm with his grandchildren and rooting for the Ohio State Buckeyes. He was an avid hunter and fisherman. Snakes, groundhogs and other varmints will NOT mourn his passing. Emerson was a member of Baptist churches throughout his life, including the Arabia Baptist Church, Northland Missionary Baptist Church, and the Sovereign Grace Baptist Church.
