Wiarton Willie the groundhog has died

[Catherine]

Quote:Dear Willie. He will not be forgotten as the harbinger of Spring. Where he has gone it will be Spring all the time.

That is a beautiful thought. Willie served us well and now after all the springs he predicted he can finally rest and enjoy one.
He did live a long life. After all, he was well cared for and he only worked one day a year.

Well done Willie, rest in peace. Wee Willie has been in "training" for the last two years and I am sure he will do a very good job. Just promise us early spring and we will be happy.
