He had a Teepee set up behind the Warner Homes back in the day. He use to be out there with all the dealers. We use to smoke blunts and talk to him, that crazy muhfucka kept us laughin. Babe Bruh aka Willie York
Didn't recognize him at first without the paint but he truly is a gem! He told me a story then walked away and I was stunned for like an hour! He is Deep! Good person Tho Big Ups to Baby Bra!
Well, at least he has people that care for him in Peoria. I think this is a sad case of a young man that saw and experienced too much in Viet Nam and it just blew his mind away. Truthfully, there are men like this in lots of cities but Willy is fortunate to have people that do care about him, whereas many of those other guys like him don't have anyone to care for them.
Thank you for making this documentary. i can think of several people that would also want to watch this. my friend has a willie calendar that was made one year as well.
Nick thank u so much for making this. Its put together well 2. Willie York is a peoria classic and an American hero.

When my daughter and myself would be down town, she''d be looking to see if she saw him, wondering where "The Man of the Mountain" is.
