WILLARD HENRY PRATT
If you are familiar with Atticus Finch of Maycomb or Andy Taylor of Mayberry, then you have a glimpse of our Willard, a WWII veteran, certified history teacher, ordained minister, social work administrator, Coast Guard Auxiliarist, animal lover and the best husband and father there ever was.
Willard Henry Pratt, MSSW, born December 3, 1927 in Miami, Florida. He was at his Lynn Haven home on July 13, 2010 when he went to be with Our Father in Heaven.
