Willy Johnson Hillard, affectionately known as Wanky, of Grand Rapids, MI peacefully passed away on Saturday, March 7, 2020. Willy was the son of Samuel and Mattie Perry.
Willy was an avid outdoorsman. If you knew him, at some point he took you fishing! He would spend hours fishing on the Grand River. He also enjoyed hunting and working with his hands. Willy was a jack of all trades. He knew a little bit about EVERYTHING! Willy was also a phenomenal cook and he loved to travel.
Willie is survived by his 9 children, 32 grandchildren, and 6 great grandchildren.

I just ran into you a month ago at the Party Store. And you looked at me and said: you Marc sister Kisha 😂 I said yes Winky Bobby’s daughter Kisha 😂.
