O Lord, you have showed us that death is but the gateway to a more glorious life, and that we must not fear its coming; and we know, also, that neither life nor death can separate us from your love. Assure us yet again that our departed comrades are not lost to us, but sharing new life with you in the kingdom of our Father, where we shall in your good time be reunited.  We know them to be with you forever...  Amen

Willy Wilkin
Transfers to Post Everlasting...
December 10, 2011

Obituary:
It is with deep sadness that I report that "Mr. American Legion", Willy Wilkin passed away December 10, 2011 at 7:20 PM.  His wife of 58 years, Jerry and their two daughters Terry and Mona were with him in the hospital when the end came.  Willy and Mona had enjoyed a football game together during the day, and he was alert until the end.  Willy had been hospitalized again since the day after Thanksgiving, and was hoping to be well enough to go home any day, but that was not to be.  Our prayers are with Jerry and the family.

Willy was a Past Commander of Robert Allen Romo Post 422 in Rialto, Past 25th District Commander, Past Fifth Area Commander, Past Department Commander, and Past National Executive Committeeman.  All who knew him know of his dedication to The American Legion.  He will be greatly missed.
