| Willis "Bill" Welch with one of The Pie Fairy's treats. |
Columbus, Ohio – A man
somewhat famous for his friend only known as “The Pie Fairy” has
revealed he won't be getting any more of the pastry treats.
Willis Welch, who still
doesn't know who exactly is responsible for leaving him pies for the
last 35 years, received a note with the desert stating “It
has been a great ride. Still not telling you who I am yet, but my
wings are shorter now and I am a little too fat to fly anymore. But I
still love you!!”
All he knows about the person who has
been treating him for three-and-a-half decades is the person knows
him well enough to know pecan pie is his favorite. His story became
national news after it appeared in a book in 2006.
He used to think his daughters were at
the bottom of it but stopped after the consistently denied they had
anything to do with it. Even though his daughters asked him not to
eat the pies, Willis' sweet tooth kept winning out and he would eat
them.
The pies started appearing in 1976 and
followed him after he moved to Reynoldsburg.
The Pie Fairy seems to have a good
sense of humor. After he got national recognition in 2006, the next
year the Fairy left him a tiny pecan torte and a note chiding him for
keeping the publicity for himself. The next day however Willis got a
new full-sized pie with a note reading “Just kidding.”
The final note concluded “Won’t say
bye or so long, just . . . keep on keeping on!”
