Our prayers are with the Harriott family. Willis was a good friend and will be sadly missed. His wit and sense of humor were always entertaining. He was an inspiration to the entire staff at Driftaway Cafe. We have many fond memories of him, especially this time of year. His St Patrick's day parties were legendary! Having recently lost my dad, I know how hard it is. I can only focus on the good times and fond memories and pray that you all do the same. He will never be forgotten!
