Granger unwavering from what he saw as right

I want to express my great sorrow upon hearing about our losing one of Peachtree City's finest individuals. I developed a great appreciation for Mr. Willis Granger.

God has placed many excellent examples in my life and Mr. Granger was certainly one of them. He had a servant heart and served on our Planning Commission and various other civic posts. He was devoted towards the good of us all and he never wavered from what he thought was right.

He was an outstanding mentor and he was quick to offer encouragement when needed. I thought it truly a privilege to have someone with a lifetime of experience like Mr. Granger to run my thoughts by and to ask advice. Hopefully, Mr. Granger's example will encourage more of our elder citizens to share their wealth of knowledge with some of our younger citizens.

My family's thoughts and prayers are offered for the Granger family in their time of mourning. Thank you for sharing Willis. He will not be forgotten.
