Dear Uncle Will,

I was so sad to learn of your passing. You were such a dear sweet man and a wonderful coach to so many of us. I will never forget all of those Saturday mornings spent with you at Midlothian. I hope you know how special you were to all those you coached. May you be resting in peace!
