Vivie:
For the 20 years I was at Samuel I truly appreciated having Tom as a fellow pastor and friend. I am so glad I could offer him the opportunity to preach on Good Friday and that he would cheerfully and enthusiastically proclaim the gospel. He was always gratefully received by the people of Samuel and for me it was a joy to have him in Samuel's pulpit. He was a faithful servant. Thanks be to God for the grace he revealed through Tom's life and ministry.##imported-begin##Pastor Christopher Anderson##imported-end##
Uncle Tom was always one of my favorite people. Kind and generous almost to a fault, he was also a superb minister and counselor--never judgmental, but not indulgent either. The one time in my life when I faced a real "dark night of the soul," it was Tom Williamsen who helped me more than any other. We shall miss him.##imported-begin##Michael Johnson##imported-end##

Although I did not know Reverend Willamsen, I wanted to let the family know that we at Chapman and Cutler were deeply saddened to learn of his passing. He was such a servant to our Lord, our Country, our Men and Women in the Service and to his congregations, I wish I had had a chance to know him. Please be comforted in the fact that he is now with his Father and that our thoughts and prayers are with the Willamsen family as they remember his legacy.##imported-begin##Fred Weber##imported-end##
Dear Vivi and Children,
We're sorry that we will be out of town today, but we plan to see you tomorrow. I hope that the visit to the doctor on Monday did not hasten the pastor's passing. We cherish your friendship over the past fifty years. What a blessing you have been. We wish you God's strength and grace in these difficult times. Please call us if you need some help. We will keep in touch with you. Love and prayers.
