Alfaros celebrate 50th wedding anniversary. Details. Bluegrass Roots Editor, Landon Wills, dies at 81. These are sad days at the KGS. Our beloved friend passed away on 14 May 98, at home, after an illness of two months. He is survived by his wife, Ilene Blake Wills, and six sons. His body was donated to the University of Kentucky. A memorial service was held at Berry Hill Mansion at 2pm, Saturday, 23 May 98, and was attended by a large gathering of family and friends, a number of whom stood and gave touching comments about this special man. A special article on Landon appeared in the Summer 98 issue of Bluegrass Roots. KGS loses four valued members. Roy Wood, Frankfort, passed away on 9Nov97.
